DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Gero Miesenböck\nhosted by Tom Henzinger\nAbstract: W
 e are pleased to invite you to the next IST Lecture\, which will take plac
 e on the IST Austria campus and online.AbstractThe essential but enigmatic
  functions of sleep must be reflected in molecular changes sensed by the b
 rain's sleep-control systems. Insights into these systems are beginning to
  reveal the physical nature of sleep pressure and the mechanisms responsib
 le for its accumulation and discharge. These advances are a testament to t
 he enabling power of optogenetics\, whose early days the lecture recalls i
 n a handful of personal vignettes.About Gero MiesenböckGero Miesenböck i
 s an Austrian neurophysiologist and is known as the founder of optogeneti
 cs. He received his education at the University of Innsbruck and Umeå Un
