2026 Sleep Regulation and Function Gordon Research Conference and Gordon Research Seminar - SUMMARY: The 2026 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Sleep Regulation and Function, themed “Sleep for the Whole Organism,” will mark the seventh installment of this highly successful series. Over the course of the last decade, sleep research has experienced remarkable growth across a variety of disciplines, spanning molecular biology, systems neuroscience, and mental health. Advances in state-of-the-art technologies have enabled significant progress in our understanding of the neurocircuitry underlying non-REM and REM sleep, wakefulness, the roles of neurotransmitters and neuromodulators, genetic contributions to sleep regulation, and the impact of sleep loss on transcriptional and translational dynamics. The 2026 GRC will build on this strong foundation while expanding into new frontiers. The program will explore sleep as a whole-organism behavior, integrating both brain and body perspectives. In addition to core sessions on sleep regulatory mechanisms and emerging findings from non- mammalian species, the conference will highlight recent findings on sleep’s roles in cognition, consciousness, interoception, and waste clearance from the brain. A session will examine the interplay between sleep and post- infectious disease states, reflecting growing interest in how immune challenges—including long-term consequences of viral infections—impact sleep regulation and homeostasis. The program will further emphasize bidirectional brain-body communication, with discussions on the bi-directional interaction between sleep and peripheral physiology, metabolic state, and systemic signals. Finally, the growing interface between artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) and sleep science will be showcased, illustrating how advanced computational tools are transforming data analysis, predictive modeling, and mechanistic discovery in the field. This GRC will comprise 50 invited speakers and discussion leaders, poster sessions, in the main meeting. It will be preceded by the GRS, which will provide opportunities specifically for graduate students and post-docs. The GRC and GRS will bring together scientists of all career stages in an interactive and safe environment.
