Tuesday, 14.01.2020 — 12:00-14:30 — Red Room, Trigon
Every species on this planet sleeps for a substantial amount of their lifetime, however we still do not really know why. In this small symposium, we will have talks on the function of sleep with a special focus on memory consolidation. Across all speakers we will cover sleep in rodents, birds and humans, and highlight differences as well as common features across sleep.
