4. Types Of Training Available:

The Insomnia Clinic is part of the Sleep Disorders Center at Rhode Island Hospital is a member of a consortium of hospitals that comprimise the training sites for Brown Medical School. The medical school offers a clinical psychology intership which is broken down into four tracks consisting of adult, child and family, neuropsychology, and behvioral medicine. The Sleep Disorders Rotations is one of four rotationsoffered in the Behavioral Medicine track. In addition to extensive work in the outpatient treatment of insomnia and other sleep disorders in both adult and child populations, the rotation offers training in the cognitive behavioral treatment of anxiety disorders as they relate to medical illness, as well as general anxiety disorders. Clinical psychology interns do a four-month rotation in this Sleep Disorders and Anxiety Disorders Clinic under the primary supervision of myself. Interns are also provided with protected research time which may be spent with Dr. Carskadon.

*There are occasionally post-doctoral clinical opportunities available. There is also the possibility of a post-doctoral research opportunity with Mary Carskadon, Ph.D. who runs a separate research sleep lab through Bradley Hospital, another one of the members of the consortium.

    The Ergonomics Laboratory is one of the few places in the U.S. offering graduate study in psychology with a focus on the occupational safety and health aspectsof shiftwork, work schedules, and sleep. It is part of the graduate program in Industrial
    and Organizational Psychology. The major focus of this program is research methodology and the application of these skills to the problems of business, governemnt and industry. This program is designed for full-time graduate students seeking the Ph.D. Admission is quite competitive, and it takes 4 to 5 years to finish the program. One of these years is a full-time internship in business, government, or industry. Some examples of Ergonomics Laboratory internship sites Ford Motor Company, IBM Corporation, Institute of Occupational Health (Finland), National Aeronautics & Space Administration, Liberty Mutual Insurance Research Center, and NYNEX.

    9. Primary Research Focus of Laboratory:

    1)  Rapid Eye Movement (REM) Sleep using both in vivo and in vitro physiological studies and cellular anatomical studies.
    2)  Recordings of neurons in the laterodorsal and pedunculopontine Tegmental (LDT/PPT) nuclei.
    3)  Other investigations will focus on the effector neurons for REM sleep phenomena in the mPRF. These investigations of the ubiquitous state of REM sleep will provide an insight into the basic mechanisms of its generation and so enable more rational treatment of disorders associated with REM abnormalities. These include the major mood disorders, the sleep disturbance of post-traumatic stress disorder, and narcolepsy.

    10. Technical Capabilities of the Lab: 
    About 10,000 sq feet in adjacent one-story bldgs. dedicated to research. One complete laboratory installation for intracellular in vivo work, this includes a sound attenuated recording room with a complete Kopf apparatus for intracellular recording, an Inchworm electrode advancer, a high input impedance pre=am, 3 TEKTRONIX CROs 1 storage CRO for display, 5 grass stimulators, a Grass polygraph, a Honeywell 8 channel FM tape recorder, a Narishige electrode puller and other equipment. There is also an extracellular recording set-up that includes: recording cage, slip-ring cable, a Bak modular recording system (amplifiers, filters, window discriminators, a Grass 6 channel polygraph, 3 CROs, and a 32 channel tape recorder. For in vitro work with pontine brainstem slices, the in vitro laboratory includes three complete set-ups for slice work, each with a kinetic stimulator, 2 CROs for display, a Medical Systems Corp., pneumatic system for the puffer electrodes, a Gould strip chart recorder and a Nixon binocular microscope for observation.  For morphological and anatomical investigations, a Nikon diaphot microscope equipped with a Kodak DCS digital camera is used to interface with a Pentium based computer running Adobe Photoshop for graphic manipulations. Images can be viewed and captured using both bright field and epifluorescence microscopy. Hard copy of processed images can be output into either an Epson Stylus color printer or onto a Lasergraphics LFR slide maker. Two Brown, Flaming electrode pullers are available.

    Animal Facility, Photography Darkroom , and Histological Laboratory are also on site.

    9. Primary Research Focuses Of Laboratory:

    Basic human neurobehavioral and neurobiological research, involving both laboratory and field experiments. Investigation of the homeostatic and circadian regulation of waking neurobiological functions, and the manner in which they interact to produce wakefulness. Specific areas of study include: (1) the effects of sleep deprivation on behavioral and physiological functioning; (2) the cumulative development of sleepiness and brain dysfunction from acute total and sustained partial sleep loss; (3) neurobehavioral deficits due to sleepiness and hypoxemia from obstructive sleep apnea syndrome; (4) neuroimaging during sleep and sleep loss; (5) neuroendocrine and neuroimmune functions in relation to sleep, sleep loss, and circadian rhythms; (6) sleep disturbance in psychopathology; (7) causes of insomnia and excesssive sleepiness in the elderly; (8) effects of irregular, prolonged, and shifted work schedules human health and safety; (9) development of behavioral, biological, and technological countermeasures to inadequate sleep and to daytime sleepiness; (10) effects of caffeine, posture and stimulation of brain functions during sleep deprivation; (11) development of mathematical models of human neurobehavioral functions; (12) transition of basic research on human sleep/wakefulness to public policy issues..

    10. Technical capabilities of lab:

       + facilities for multi-day (24-hr) experiments on human sleep deprivation
       + temporal isolation facilities for prolonged circadian rhythm experiments

       + actigraphy and actillume hardware/software
       + computer-based, portable performance/neurobehavioral assessment systems
       + blood/saliva/urine processing facilities for neuroendocrine and neuroimmune measures

    11. Primary Training Focus:

    Fellowship and stipend support at all levels (undergraduate, medical student, graduate, post-doctorate, early career), as described above. Laboratory is heavily invested in studying neurobehavioral (e.g., performance, cognitive, EEG, fMRI, metabolism, mood, somatic symptoms), neuroendocrine (e.g., cortisol, melatonin, thyroid axis, growth hormone, catecholamines), and in vitro and in vivo neuroimmune functions (e.g., cytokines, lymphocyte responses) in healthy humans as a function of sleep drive and circadian rhythmicity. Emphasis is placed on trainees taking responsibility for developing key aspects of research and bringing to publishable fruition as their product. Career development with achievable goals are priorities.

    12. Other Training Opportunities:

    NIH (NHLBI) support for 2-year post-doctoral NIH fellowships in respiratory neurobiology and sleep (Allan I. Pack, MD, PhD).  Graduate students in the Neuroscience Department and Psychology Department are eligible to work with Dr. Dinges, who is a member of the Institute of Neurological Sciences, the Psychology Graduate Group, and  the Training Faculty of the Center for Sleep and Respiratory Neurobiology at Penn.
