The unique feature of this laboratory is that the knowledge gained from animal experiments is applied for the management of various sleep disorders in human. The research laboratory works in close collaboration with the Sleep Clinic in identifying the unresolved puzzles of sleep disorders and seeks to find a solution to those human maladies. This most modern research laboratory is equipped with the latest instruments and technology to conduct basic sleep research in animal models and human subjects. A PhD program in Neuroscience is initiated to look into the various aspects of sleep loss on cognition (anxiety, learning & memory), developmental plasticity in neural networks related to sleep and autonomic system, interrelationship of sleep and thermoregulation, inflammatory markers and effects of yogic interventions on overall wellbeing.
