Biography
My research focuses upon the study of the basic mechanisms underlying the developmental function for rapid eye-movement (REM) sleep in brain maturation, the "Ontogenetic Hypothesis." Our early work on cats and rats in this area has provided a major proportion of the available data that supports the ontogenetic hypothesis, which posits a role for REM sleep in cortical development. Our work has uncovered some of the electrophysiological and molecular mechanisms that contribute to the effects the REM sleep state has on synaptic plasticity during development of both visual cortex and hippocampus. Research in my laboratory also has provided the first data demonstrating that REM sleep deprivation during an early critical period directly affects plasticity mechanisms involved in synaptic connectivity in the developing brain. My work in this area also includes the develop of a novel, computer controlled method for automatically manipulating REM sleep that is not subject to many of the critiques of the typically used ‘flower pot’ techniques, while being just as effective in reducing REM sleep but without disturbing slow wave sleep amounts. Overall, I have a demonstrated record of successful and productive research on REM sleep and its role in brain maturation utilizing both in vivo and in vitro electrophysiological techniques. Our work on synaptic plasticity studies of long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term-depression (LTD) induction in brain slices have demonstrated that REM sleep deprivation in early life affects LTP and LTD in both visual cortex and hippocampus.
