The Medical Sciences Part of the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences’ Foundation for Scientifically Employed Candidates and Students at the University of Copenhagen has granted NRU-MR-assistant Astrid Skytte Nordentoft Nielsen 114.800 DKK for her project entitled 'Cortical and cerebrospinal fluid low frequency oscillations in sleep deprived individuals'.
Astrid's project aims to investigate the relationship between low frequency cortical and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) oscillations and how these oscillations change through sleep deprivation. Understanding how sleep deprivation is driving low frequency cortical and CSF oscillations in sleep will allow us to better understand the mechanisms of sleep deterioration and give insight into what may be occurring in sleep disorders.
Congratulations to Astrid. :-)
