Abstract | Narrated in this article are accounts of the many contributions Howard P. Roffwarg, MD, made to the field of sleep research and sleep medicine across his entire professional career as a student, a mentor, a leader in the Sleep Research Society, a sleep medicine clinician, and a scientist who performed experimental investigations in humans and animals. Dr Roffwarg was the originator of what is known as the "Ontogenetic Hypothesis" of sleep. His research over many years on physiology has contributed greatly to much of the experimental support substantiating a role for rapid eye-movement sleep (REMS) in the early development of the brain. Though much is still unknown, the Ontogenetic Hypothesis, still to this day, inspires many neuroscientists in their investigations. These studies have demonstrated roles for both REMS and NREMS in development as well as on brain function throughout his life span. Dr Howard P. Roffwarg, is one of the legends in the field of sleep research. |
