Re: AIIMS Sleep Lab
All India Institute of Medical Sciences AIIMS Delhi is a medical college and medical research public university based in New Delhi, India. The Institute was established in 1956 It operates autonomously under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. Sleep laboratory Incharge- Prof. H.N. Mallick Sleep laboratory is in the Department of Physiology, AIIMS Sleep laboratory studied the role of the noradrenergic afferent fibres, projecting to the preoptic area, in the regulation of several visceral functions, including sleep. This research group was the first to show the involvement of these noradrenergic fibres in the induction of sleep. This laboratory was also a pioneer in demonstrating the restoration of functions after neural tissue transplantation. They were the first to show recovery of sleep after neural transplantation at the medial preoptic area. Electrophysiological recordings from the transplant were a significant scientific contribution. Magnetic resonance imaging of the lesioned preoptic area, done with the help of NMR facility, was a rare achievement for which this country can be proud. By employing fMRI, this group was the first to demonstrate the activation of the medial preoptic neurons during sleep. The studies conducted by the laboratory showed that the medial preoptic area has the homeostatic mechanism for fine-tuning food intake, body temperature, locomotor activity and sleep-wakefulness.
