What are the connections between upper airway infections like the flu, our immune systems, and our brains? In today’s podcast, we're honored to speak with the 2023 Breakthrough Prize winner, Dr. Emmanuel Mignot, Director of the Stanford Center for Sleep Sciences and Medicine. Together, we discuss new advancements in our understanding of narcolepsy type 1 as a likely autoimmune disorder brought on by genetic and environmental factors like certain flu strains. This episode was recorded in April 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic was still very new, yet this discussion remains timely and important as we continue to learn so much from the fascinating frontiers of immunology and neuroscience.
