SUMMARY:The suprachiasmatic nucleus: the brain's circadian clock - Michael
  Hastings (University of Cambridge)
DTSTART:20210427T160000Z
DTEND:20210427T170000Z
UID:TALK159610@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Katharina Zuhlsdorff
DESCRIPTION:Sleep and all of the other circadian rhythms that adapt us to 
 the 24 hour world are controlled by the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN)\, th
 e brain's central circadian clock. And yet\, the SCN consists of only 20\,
 000 neurons and astrocytes\, so what makes it such a powerful clock\, able
  to set the tempo to our lives?\nProfessor Hastings will consider the cell
 -autonomus and neural circuit-level mechanisms that sustain the SCN clock 
 and how it regulates rest\, activity and sleep.
