New PhD fellow at MIB will study sleep deprivation during pregnancy.
06.09.2017 |
Nadia is a medical student at Aarhus University and has just started a MD/PhD at MIB.
Since March 2016 she has been working as a student researcher with Professor Morten Kringelbach and Postdoc Henrique Fernandes on the ERC CAREGIVING project, the first longitudinal study to examine the development of the parental brain. Working with this project, led Nadia to the idea of her PhD-project about sleep deprivation during pregnancy, which now will be a supplement to the ERC project.
During her PhD-project Nadia will be using fMRI and MEG techniques to examine the effects of insomnia on resting state networks and perception of baby communicative cues. Furthermore, she will be conducting a clinical trial testing the effects of music listening and light therapy on insomnia symptoms and brain function. The project will be carried out in collaboration with Morten Kringelbach and Peter Vuust.
