Sleep and Performance Research Center Seminar Series

Dr. Kazue Semba will present “Astrocyte and microglia responses to sleep loss.”

Dr. Semba is a Professor in the Department of Medical Neuroscience at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Dr. Semba’s research focus is on the neurobiology of sleep. Her approach is multifaceted, including basic cellular and molecular mechanisms of sleep/wake regulation, as well as cognitive and physiological consequences of chronic sleep loss. These questions are addressed using various combinations of behavioural, electrophysiological, anatomical, biochemical, and molecular techniques in rodent models.
