Jared Saletin

Jared Saletin is an Associate Professor at Brown University's Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior, where he serves as Associate Director of the E.P. Bradley Hospital Sleep Research Laboratory. His research program investigates sleep-dependent brain function in neurodevelopmental contexts, particularly focusing on ADHD and autism.

• PhD in Psychology (Cognitive Neuroscience) from UC Berkeley
• Postdoctoral training in Child Mental Health at Brown University

Research trajectories include:

• Sleep-Brain Interactions: Utilizing multi-modal neuroimaging (fMRI, EEG) and sleep physiology to study memory consolidation
• Developmental Disorders: ADHD neurophysiological biomarkers and sleep regulation
• Circadian Rhythms: Chrononutrition studies and sleep timing mechanisms
• Population Sleep Health: School policy impacts and digital behavior zeitgebers

Key contributions appear in Nature Neuroscience, Current Biology, and Journal of Neuroscience, focusing on:

• Sleep spindle frequency and hippocampal memory systems
• Left parietal cortex correlates of directed forgetting
• Structural brain predictors of sleep vulnerability

Awards & service:

• Outstanding Graduate Student Instructor (UC Berkeley, 2013)
• Vice-chair of Membership Committee, Sleep Research Society

Teaching innovations include:

• Original sleep science curriculum for high school students
• Undergraduate apprenticeship program in sleep research
• Interdisciplinary sleep course design integrating neuroscience and communication
