About the Author:

Takeshi Sakurai, MD, PhD

Takeshi Sakurai is a professor in the Department of Molecular Neuroscience and Integrative Physiology, Faculty of Medicine, Kanazawa University (Japan). He obtained his M.D. and Ph.D. from the University of Tsukuba and received his postdoctoral training at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, USA. The goal of his work is to identify novel neuropeptides and define their physiological roles. He is especially interested in neuropeptides involved in homeostatic processes and innate behaviors such as feeding, autonomic function, emotion, and sleep and wakefulness states. In recent years, he has focused on identifying the input and output systems of orexin neurons to reveal the neuronal network that plays an important role in regulating sleep and wakefulness states.

Pandi-Perumal is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Somnogen Canada Inc, a Canadian Corporation. He is a well-recognized sleep researcher both nationally and internationally, and has authored many publications. His general area of research interest includes sleep and biological rhythms. He is a well-known editor in the field of sleep medicine and has edited over 20 volumes dealing with various sleep-related topics. He had an honorable mention in the New York Times in 2004. India International Friendship Society awarded 'Bharat Gaurav award' on January 12, 2013.

Jaime M. Monti, MD
