The Role of Sleep in Memory and Learning Dinner Symposium

What does sleep have to do with learning and memory? Find out by attending a dinner symposium jointly sponsored by the National Sleep Foundation and the Atlanta School of Sleep Medicine. This symposium will present cutting-edge research examining the neurobiology of sleep-dependent learning and memory formation. Practical implications include how disturbed sleep impacts learning and the effect of common sleep disorders on learning and memory. Please join us in Baltimore during the SLEEP 2008 meeting!
