10.17.23 | How Maternal Circadian Disruption Impacts Sleep and PFC function in Adult Offspring

Session Overview

Sleep and circadian (daily) rhythms impact nearly all aspects of physiology. As such, perturbations in sleep and deviations from natural light/dark cycles influence epigenetic, cellular, and behavioral processes. The prefrontal cortex (PFC) regulates stress, fear responses, cognition, and learning and memory. The PFC undergoes significant development in utero and early life, and environmental disturbances during this period can have significant long-term ramifications. Here we use a model of maternal circadian disruption to determine how maternal environment modulates sleep and neural function in adult offspring.

Learning Objectives

After participation in this session the learner should be better able to:

  • Identify early life models of circadian disruption

  • Understand non-invasive sleep measurement studies

  • Describe how early life circadian disruption may impact neural function at the transcriptomic and physiological level
