Скачать или смотреть What Is Sleep?

When you catch yourself napping in math class, do you ever ask yourself, "What is sleep? Why do I even need it?" Well, Alie Astrocyte is here to help. In this Neuro Transmission, we explain what we DO know about sleep and how it affects our lives on a daily basis.

The inspiration for this video comes from Alan Alda and the Alda Center for Communicating Science who challenged scientists to explain sleep in a way that will enlighten 11-year-olds and awaken their interest in learning more about sleep. It is called the Flame Challenge. Tell us what you think!

Also, keep an eye out for upcoming videos that will be going over the basics of neuroscience starting the fall of 2015. This is only the beginning!
