Viviane Hambrecht-Wiedbusch is an Assistant Research Scientist in the Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Michigan Medical School. Her research primarily focuses on the neural mechanisms involved in arousal states, sleep, and consciousness, particularly how these mechanisms are affected by general anesthesia. Additionally, she investigates the interactions between sleep and pain, emphasizing how disruptions in sleep circuitry can lead to increased pain sensitivity and contribute to chronic pain conditions. Through her work, she aims to uncover the complexities involved in sleep regulation and consciousness, contributing to the broader fields of neuroscience and anesthesiology.
