Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Through you, I'm delighted that Dr. Moldofsky is here today, that he's been able to make it. I'm sorry you have such a bad cold, but I'm delighted that you fought through it to be here today.
This kind of research is clearly important to us. I saw the nodding heads of my colleagues. You've resonated on a few points, especially the predictors. We met with some of your colleagues at DRDC. This is something that interests me tremendously, in that if we can delve into these predictors, if we can use some of your research and their research in terms of.... You talked about the waking and sleeping brain, and the correlation between pain and some of those psychiatric disorders that we've all now come to understand through many of our soldiers who suffer through this.
Along with your colleagues, you're also doing some of that research based on the immune and endocrine systems of the body, for example, Dr. Paul is working on the melatonin levels to see if those could be regulated in the brain, which would assist with the production of restful, restorative sleep—not just sleep, as we discussed. You may want to delve into that. There are several forms of sleep, but only one really refreshes the body and the individual.
Doctor, if you could talk about some of the circadian rhythms, some of the chemical imbalances that might be regulated through production of a device that can measure hormones through saliva and other factors, that would be helpful.
