were evaluated. Her other research efforts include an on-going collaborative effort with NIH investigating regional cerebral blood flow changes during the various stages of sleep and wakefulness and a collaborative effort with USARIEM, which investigated hypnotic efficacy of triazolam on sleep and degradation of electroencephalographic indices of cognitive capacities at simulated high altitude.

From page 443... ...
Dr. Young's research has concerned the biological basis for, and strategies to mitigate, physical performance degradations in military personnel exposed to physiological stressors, such as intense physical exertion coupled with sleep restriction, nutritional deprivation, and exposure to extremes of heat, cold, and high altitude, all of which could be expected during continuous or sustained military operations.
