Details of Research Project:
The focus of the lab is on understanding relationships between sleep/sleep disorders, cognition, and risk for neurodegenerative disease. To that end, we employ a mouse model of tauopathy in which we attempt to manipulate sleep bidirectionally both acutely and chronically to understand impacts on sleep neurophysiology, learning/memory behaviors, and evidence for tauopathy and neurodegeneration.
Technical Duties: (include any protocols)
Technical duties include learning surgery to implant EEG/EMG to record sleep in mice, learning to how score sleep and identify and quantify key neurophysiological hallmarks related to sleep quality and mnemonic processes, perform stereotaxic surgeries to introduce proteins of interest into specific brain regions, performing bench biochemistry, including brain histology, immunohistochemistry, and microscopy, and perform rodent behavioral protocols.
