Novel mechanism underlying the behavioural and neurocognitive deficits in children with sleep disorders. [ 2013 - 2017 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Sarah Biggs (Principal investigator)

Brief description About one third of Australian children have a sleep disorder. Behavioural or academic problems are common in these children, however the link between sleep and daytime problems is still not clear. New research suggests the pattern of brain activity during deep sleep may provide some answers. This study will explore the link between brain activity during deep sleep and daytime functioning in children with sleep disorders, providing valuable information for treatment.
