The purpose of this workshop is to share original scientific views on sleep and its disorders, slightly different from dominant ideas. It will be an opportunity to generate crosstalk between scientific fields and initiate new collaborations, thanks to the four invited speakers and the data-blitz representative of the activity of the Lyon Neuroscience Research Center (CRNL) teams in this field. Deadline for registration: September 15.

Looking forward to seeing you there !
