DESCRIPTION:Please join the Division of Neuroscience\, Wednesday 29 Octob
 er 2025\, for the Manchester Neuroscience Seminar Series\, the speaker w
 ill be Professor Luis de Lecea from Stanford University.\n\nThis seminar
  will be hosted by Dr Juan F. Quintana.\n\nTitle: Neuromodulation of Bra
 in States \n\nAbstract: The sequence of vigilance states is tightly regu
 lated\, and sleep continuity is likely an essential feature of its funct
 ion. Recent discoveries on local discontinuities in vigilance states in 
 rodents and humans raise new challenges to define sleep/wake stability. 
 Here I will discuss new data from our laboratory demonstrating cortex-wi
 de complex dynamics across sleep/wake cycles using genetically encoded v
 oltage sensors. I will also describe a new neuronal circuit that predict
 s the onset and duration of REM sleep\, raising new hypothesis about the
  nature of the REM homeostat. Finally\, I will describe attempts to non-
 invasively modulate arousal circuits and optimize sleep quality. \n\n\nA
 ll are welcome\n\n
