DESCRIPTION:The Neuro will hold a symposium focused on sleep in honour of P
 rofessor Barbara Jones’ illustrious career and her official retirement. Th
 e Neuro Sleep Symposium will take place on October 1\, 2021. The one-day s
 ymposium will include two keynotes. One delivered by Professor Luis de Lec
 ea (Stanford University\, USA) and the second from Professor Jerry Siegel 
 (UCLA\, USA) as well as contributions from colleagues and friends of inter
 national standing.\n\nProfessor Barbara Jones has made tremendous contribu
 tions to the field of sleep research with implication both in experimental
  and clinical research. During her outstanding career\, Professor Jones fo
 cused at understanding how the brain generates states of waking and sleep\
 , including slow wave sleep (SWS) and paradoxical sleep (PS\, or rapid eye
  movement sleep\, REM\, when dreaming occurs) using immunohistochemical an
 d neuroanatomical techniques combined with neurophysiological recording\, 
 and optogenetics. She is a world expert in the anatomy and physiology of s
 leep. Amongst many important findings\, Dr. Jones identified the modulator
 y action of cholinergic neurons on cortical activation\, the influence of 
 inhibitory GABA neurons on sleep states and the activity of hypocretins/or
 exins neurons as key regulators of waking and narcolepsy with cataplexy in
  humans and animal model.\n\nWe expect a large audience of both experiment
 al and clinical scientists ranging from students to principal investigator
 s from the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences and others at 51³Ô¹ÏÍøUn
 iversity as well as colleagues from other Montreal universities.\n\n\n	\n		Re
