Glutamate, Hyperarousal, and Restless Legs Syndrome R01NS075184-01A1 NIH $306,755 PI: Allen R Co-Investigator, 18% The goal of this project is to evaluate a possible new basic biological basis for RLS. We will study brain imaging measures of levels of glutamate, use transcranial magnetic stimulation of the motor cortex measuring function of the glutamate system and cortical excitability, record sleep disturbance and daytime leg discomfort and movements. My role \ is to spearhead and complete the TMS arm of the study. 7/1/12-6/30/15

Johns Hopkins University $50,000 PI: Salas R We will use graph theory and apply network-based modeling techniques to capture the spatio- temporal dynamics during sleep stages in order to reliably discriminate the PSG EEG patterns of HIV seropositive individuals (with and without insomnia) from seronegative controls. Our novel approach is a promising technique that will establish PSG, specifically through sleep EEG, as an innovative and non-invasive biomarker for insomnia in individuals with HIV. 1/1/14-12/13/14
Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) in persons with Traumatic Brain Injury American Sleep Medicine Foundation (ASMF Strategic Research Award Category I) $250,000 PI: L. Buenaver Co-Investigator; 1% The goal of this project is to develop a novel educational/clinical tool for the management of TBI related sleep disturbance in military personnel that could also be adapted for civilian use. This includes the development of a portable, fieldable/deployable, cost-effective platform for delivering basic sleep medicine education, a clinical assessment paradigm and a behavioral management intervention.7/1/15-6/3/18 Neurophysiological Mechanisms Underlying the Sleep & Migraine Association American Sleep Medicine Foundation (Junior Faculty Award) $75,000 PI: Salas R, 15% (over 2 years) To define the association between cortical excitability and functional outcomes of sleep (i.e., surveys) in migraine patients as compared to controls. To determine the association between cortical excitability and electrophysiological sleep parameters (i.e., sleep efficiency, wake after sleep onset) on polysomnography in migraine patients as compared to controls. To determine the association between cortical excitability and sleep regulatory substances (i.e., IL-1, IL-6, TNF-alpha) in migraine patients compared to controls. 7/1/13-6/30/14 The Parkinson Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) Identification number: 90043816 Michael J.
