NIH research grant to study how sleep duration and timing affect reward and stress-related brain functions in adolescents at risk for depression, aiming to promote mental health.
Description
The long-term objectives of this proposal are: 1) to evaluate a biobehavioral model of depressive symptoms and anhedonia in adolescents, and 2) to leverage sleep and circadian function to promote mental health. The research involves observational and experimental studies assessing sleep patterns, stressful life events, and brain function related to depression and anhedonia in adolescents.
