This outreach event is aimed at bringing a broad range of neuroscience- and neurobiology-based topics to the surrounding community. Aimed at younger students, this year the program experienced it&#8217;s highest number of young participants, with over 400 children attending the event<\/p>\n<p>The Mahoney Lab excitingly participated, bringing the &#8220;Dark Lark vs. Night Owl&#8221; poster board to their booth. Children were asked to identify animals they think are\u00a0 diurnal, nocturnal, or crepuscular and place them appropriately on the poster. Students learned about animal sleeping patterns, and learned how to calculate\u00a0 their average sleep per night!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Congratul<\/strong><strong>ations to\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Dr. Mahoney, who was the\u00a0<\/strong><strong>faculty sponsor for this year&#8217;s event!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-carousel fusion-image-carousel-auto fusion-image-carousel-2 fusion-carousel-border\"><div class=\"awb-carousel awb-swiper awb-swiper-carousel awb-carousel--carousel awb-swiper-dots-position-bottom\" data-layout=\"carousel\" data-autoplay=\"yes\" data-autoplayspeed=\"2500\" data-autoplaypause=\"no\" data-loop=\"yes\" data-columns=\"1\" data-columnsmedium=\"1\" data-columnssmall=\"1\" data-itemmargin=\"13\" data-itemwidth=\"180\" data-touchscroll=\"no\" data-freemode=\"no\" data-imagesize=\"auto\" data-scrollitems=\"0\" data-centeredslides=\"no\" data-rotationangle=\"50\" data-depth=\"100\" data-speed=\"500\" data-shadow=\"no\" data-pagination=\"bullets\" style=\"--awb-columns:1;--awb-border-width:1px;--awb-border-color:#e9eaee;\"><div class=\"swiper-wrapper awb-image-carousel-wrapper fusion-flex-align-items-center\"><div class=\"swiper-slide\"><div class=\"fusion-carousel-item-wrapper\"><div class=\"fusion-image-wrapper hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/vetmed.illinois.edu\/mahoney-lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2018\/04\/IMG_2685-copy-e1523939791741.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1753\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide\"><div class=\"fusion-carousel-item-wrapper\"><div class=\"fusion-image-wrapper hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/vetmed.illinois.edu\/mahoney-lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2018\/04\/IMG_2688-copy-e1523939808338.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1757\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide\"><div class=\"fusion-carousel-item-wrapper\"><div class=\"fusion-image-wrapper hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/vetmed.illinois.edu\/mahoney-lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2018\/04\/IMG_2690-copy-e1523939825215.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1758\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide\"><div class=\"fusion-carousel-item-wrapper\"><div class=\"fusion-image-wrapper hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/vetmed.illinois.edu\/mahoney-lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2018\/04\/IMG_2692-copy-e1523939843294.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1759\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"awb-swiper-button awb-swiper-button-prev\"><i class=\"awb-icon-angle-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"awb-swiper-button awb-swiper-button-next\"><i class=\"awb-icon-angle-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:50px;margin-bottom:50px;width:100%;max-width:80%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-single sep-solid\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;--awb-sep-color:#003e7e;border-color:#003e7e;border-top-width:1px;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-6\"><h3><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1726 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/vetmed.illinois.edu\/mahoney-lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2018\/03\/res-flaws-smith-mahoney-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vetmed.illinois.edu\/mahoney-lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2018\/03\/res-flaws-smith-mahoney-200x120.jpg 200w, https:\/\/vetmed.illinois.edu\/mahoney-lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2018\/03\/res-flaws-smith-mahoney-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vetmed.illinois.edu\/mahoney-lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2018\/03\/res-flaws-smith-mahoney-400x241.jpg 400w, https:\/\/vetmed.illinois.edu\/mahoney-lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2018\/03\/res-flaws-smith-mahoney-600x361.jpg 600w, https:\/\/vetmed.illinois.edu\/mahoney-lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2018\/03\/res-flaws-smith-mahoney.jpg 615w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>PUBLISHED: Sleep problems in menopause linked to hot flashes, depression-and may not last.<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;Sleep problems are one of the most commonly reported complaints among menopausal women.
