As we advance toward solving the mystery of sleep, we will be able to treat and cure more diseases," said Prof. Miesenbck.

Key Points: 
  • As we advance toward solving the mystery of sleep, we will be able to treat and cure more diseases," said Prof. Miesenbck.
  • Miesenbck is renowned for his research developing and using optogenetics, a technology that makes neurons responsive to light.
  • Optogenetics has been instrumental in studies on sleep-inducing nerve cells in fruit flies that represent the output of a process called the sleep homeostat.
  • The sleep homeostat listens to thestill enigmaticsignals generated inside the brain or body that accumulate during waking, signalling the need to sleep.

For many years, easy clinical tests to find biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid, a water-like substance that surrounds the brain and bathes the neurons, have not existed for the brain.

Key Points: 
  • For many years, easy clinical tests to find biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid, a water-like substance that surrounds the brain and bathes the neurons, have not existed for the brain.
  • Only through a lumbar puncture, a painful and somewhat difficult procedure, could brain biomarkers be detected.
  • WFN supports the spread of research and clinical information in the pursuit of improvements in the field of neurology.
  • With support from member organizations around the globe, WFN unites the world to allow patients greater access to brain health.
