PIA Executive Committee:

Sleep and Circadian Rhythms

Chair: Géraldine Rauchs

I work at the French National Institute of health and Medical Research (Inserm). My work aims at better understanding the associations between sleep quality, assessed using different tools, and structural, functional and molecular brain alterations in aging and in the early stages of Azheimer’s disease. I am also interested in the role of sleep in memory consolidation. I use various methodologies such as polysomnography, spectral analyses, neuroimaging (structural and functional MRI, PET), actigraphy and cognitive testing.
