During sleep, your brain is still active. It is turning all those things you learned during the day into long term memories through connections between the thalamus, hippocampus and frontal cortex. What happens in Profound Autism? How does the brain work during sleep and how will this knowledge lead to better sleep in people? Are there interventions already underway that are being tested that target sleep brainwaves? It can be hard to measure sleep, so in Part 2 of the Profound Autism Series, Dr. Dimitrios Mylonas from Harvard talks about his study to use portable home brain activity monitors that have been adapted for use in Profound Autism and an intervention based on this brain activity is being tested in other disorders. His study is now enrolling and is all remote, if you are interested in participating please email him at: DMYLONAS@mgh.harvard.edu
