Neural circuits controlling sleep
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Yang Dan’s lab uses electrophysiology, imaging, optogenetic, and computational techniques to study functions of the mammalian brain. They have studied microcircuits underlying visual cortical computation and mechanisms for cortical plasticity at multiple levels, from synapse to perception. Recent work has revealed the mechanisms by which brainstem, hypothalamus, and basal forebrain circuits exert powerful control of sleep-wake brain states.For more information go to https://oir.nih.gov/wals

Pathways to Prevention Workshop: Total Worker Health-What's Work Got to Do With It? (Day 1)
Total Worker Health® (TWH) means policies, programs, and practices that integrate protection from work-related safety and health hazards with efforts to promote health and prevent disease for the advancement of worker well-being. One hundred forty-five million Americans are workers, and most spend at least 50% of their active time at the workplace. Despite improvements in occupational safety and health over the last several decades, workers continue to suffer work-related illnesses, injuries, and deaths. In 2007, it is estimated that there were over 53,000 deaths caused by work-related illnesses, and the estimated total c...

NHLBI Strategic Visioning Webinar #2
On March 9th, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) launched its Strategic Visioning initiative. Through this initiative, we are seeking to collectively identify the best approaches to advance the Institute’s mission, and to continue to make strides in heart, lung, blood, and sleep (HLBS) research. The process seeks to engage everyone with an interest in HLBS research, from health professionals and researchers to patients and the general public. In order for this effort to be successful we need your input.
During this webinar we will provide a quick recap on the process (explained in our webinar on ...

NIH Pathways to Prevention: Advancing the Research on Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (Day 2)
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a complex, multifaceted disorder characterized by extreme fatigue and a host of other symptoms that can worsen after physical or mental activity, but do not improve with rest. In addition to extreme fatigue, people with ME/CFS may also experience:
Widespread muscle and joint pain
Sore throat
Tender lymph nodes in the neck or armpit
Headaches
Sleep problems
Difficulty with short-term memory or concentration
Effects of the illness can range from moderate to debilitating, and can substantially impact everyday functioning. Routine daily activities such as cooking ...

New Challenges for Big Data: Monitoring Behaviors in the Home and Environment
BSSR
There is an increasing focus on changing healthcare from being reactive and clinic- or hospital-based to being proactive and continuous, with an emphasis on interventions that make use of home monitoring and information/communications technology to facilitate scalable approaches for delivering care to the home. New developments in sensors, mobile apps and wireless devices have provided us with opportunities to track health behaviors. The new types of data streams that arise from continuous monitoring in the home environment include sleep quality metrics, activities of daily living, socialization measures, physical ...
