Kumar Abhishek

About

Kumar Abhishek, a Ph.D. candidate at Jawaharlal Nehru University, specializes in the neuroscience of sleep research. He earned a master’s degree in biotechnology from the Central University of South Bihar. His expertise lies in unraveling the mechanisms of sleep and cognition, utilizing behavioral neuroscience methods with zebrafish as a model organism. His Ph.D. research delves into the intricate correlation between social and environmental variables influencing sleep, decision-making ability, and neuronal cytomorphology. With a focus on behavioral neuroscience, Abhishek significantly contributes to understanding the complexities of sleep through innovative research methodologies.
