Dr. H. Craig Heller, StanfordWhat can we learn about Down syndrome by studying the neural mechanisms of sleep? Plenty, according to H. Craig Heller, Ph.D., co-director of Stanford's Down Syndrome Research Center.  Dr. Heller, an expert in the area of sleep and a DSRTF grant recipient, joins us for our January webinar to discuss the roles that sleep and circadian rhythm may play in the cognitive impairment that occurs in people with DS.
Register now for this free one-hour presentation, then join us on Tuesday, January 29 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET to learn what research tells us about the influence of sleep and circadian rhythm on learning, memory, and attention — and what that may suggest for the future of improved cognition.
We look forward to seeing you there.

The DSRTF Team
