Advances in Sleep and Circadian Science

摘要 睡眠研究协会（SRS）致力于促进和推进科学研究 从睡眠和昼夜节律的理解， 从跨物种的分子调控，到它们通过遗传的跨代传递， 表观遗传，文化和社会力量，对健康和功能的影响。不可分割的联系， 睡眠和昼夜节律引导和维持生理和行为过程， 生存，如免疫，精神/神经，代谢和运动功能。在2017年， 近日，生物学家迈克尔·杨、迈克尔·罗斯巴什和杰弗里·霍尔被授予诺贝尔生理学奖。 生理学或医学奖，以表彰他们的发现，这些发现推动了我们对 控制昼夜节律的分子机制。分子基础研究进展 昼夜节律的变化反过来又使我们了解了细胞和分子 睡眠的机制然而，尽管睡眠和睡眠之间存在着生理和行为上的联系， 昼夜节律，睡眠和昼夜节律科学领域已经有所发展， 独立地，限制了它们的范围和范围。SRS试图通过组织 一个独特的跨学科睡眠和昼夜节律科学会议，以促进跨学科 交叉对话，广泛讨论前沿科学，确定知识差距， 促进跨学科研究的机会，以及为学员提供的专业课程 和早期研究者，他们代表了这个重要的跨学科领域的未来。

Abstract The Sleep Research Society (SRS) is dedicated to promoting and advancing the scientific understanding of sleep and circadian rhythms across the translational spectrum, from their molecular regulation across species, to their cross-generational transmission through genetic, epigenetic, cultural, and social forces, to their impact on health and functioning. Inexorably linked, sleep and circadian rhythms entrain and sustain physiological and behavioral processes critical to survival, such as immune, psychiatric/neurologic, metabolic, and motor functions. In 2017, circadian biologists Michael Young, Michael Rosbash, and Jeffrey Hall were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discoveries that propelled our understanding of the molecular mechanisms controlling circadian rhythms. Advances in the molecular underpinnings of circadian rhythms have, in turn, informed our understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms of sleep. Yet, despite the physiological and behavioral links between sleep and circadian rhythms, the fields of sleep and circadian science have evolved somewhat independently, limiting their reach and scope. The SRS seeks to redress this issue by organizing a unique transdisciplinary sleep and circadian science conference to promote interdisciplinary cross-talk, extensive discussion of cutting-edge science, identification of gaps in knowledge and opportunities to catalyze transdisciplinary research, and specialized programming for trainees and early stage investigators, who represent the future of this important transdisciplinary field.
