Speaker Bio: 

Dr. Masako Tamaki is a Team Leader at RIKEN Cluster for Pioneering Research and RIKEN Center for Brain Science. Her research focuses on sleep and cognitive functions, including learning, memory, and insight, in humans. She has developed a simultaneous magnetic resonance spectroscopy and polysomnography method, which allows for the measurement of neurochemical changes during NREM and REM sleep. Her team is now investigating neurochemical and cerebrospinal fluid dynamics and their association with brain oscillations during sleep by leveraging neuroimaging methods in 3 Tesla and 7 Tesla MRI environments to demonstrate the roles of sleep in healthy human mind and behavior.

 

Session Overview

Sleep is crucial for the continuity and development of life. Sleep-related problems can alter brain function and cause potentially severe psychological and behavioral consequences. However, the role of sleep in our mind and behavior is far from clear. In this talk, I will demonstrate how the sequence of nonrapid eye movement {NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep influences learning in humans. 

Learning Objectives

After participating in this activity, attendees should be better able to:

  1. State the functional differences between NREM and REM steep in humans
  2. Outline the impacts of the first-night effect on behavior and brain act1vity
  3. Describe how 3Tesla and 7Tesla magnetic resonance spectroscopy {MRS) could be useful in human sleep research
