I will be in NYC the next days if anybody is interested in meeting, I have some time on Thursday 26th in the evening :) (and maybe on Wednesday 25th.. if im not too jet lagged..)

We’re delighted to welcome Dongkyun Lim as a new NORPOD Fellow🎉! He is working with @charlotteboccara.bsky.social at @ncmbm.bsky.social and @thomasdwkim.bsky.social at @dandrite.bsky.social. Read about it here: tinyurl.com/4dcrp6ws

🌙 Sleep Awareness Month – Myth vs Fact What we think we know about sleep isn’t always right. Alessandro Arena from @charlotteboccara.bsky.social separate myths from evidence and improve sleep health across the lifespan. @embl.org @esrs.bsky.social @nordicembl.bsky.social

🌙 Sleep isn’t the brain “switching off”, it’s active reorganisation. For #SleepAwarenessMonth, Sophia Wilhelm postdoc with @charlotteboccara.bsky.social shares how researchers map brain activity to understand cognitive development. @embl.org @esrs.bsky.social @nordicembl.bsky.social

👩‍🔬 We are celebrating International Girls and Women in STEM Day 🎉! Charlotte Boccara, group leader @ncmbm.bsky.social has been sharing her story and research on sleep in an article in Apollon. 💡To all girls and women in STEM: Let your curiosity lead the way! tinyurl.com/3m7bz7su @embl.org @uio.no

💡Find out more about the work of ESRS 👉 esrs.eu Follow along this month as we explore why sleep matters, from developing brains to lifelong health. 🌙 @embl.org @nordicembl.bsky.social

🌙 March is Sleep Awareness Month! We’re spotlighting the European Sleep Research Society and @charlotteboccara.bsky.social group at @ncmbm.bsky.social. @esrs.bsky.social connects Europe’s sleep community. 🧠 Boccara’s team studies how sleep shapes brain & metabolic development.

Happy to share our new paper with Mathilde Nordlund and Julie Koenig out @currentbiology.bsky.social. We used virtual reality in mice to study hippocampal distance coding. Our results suggest a primary contribution of grid cells to distance over cue-dependent place cell coding. shorturl.at/63yFo

Only one more week to apply to do a postdoc with our group and this of @thomasdwkim.bsky.social @ncmbm.bsky.social @nordicembl.bsky.social ! If you are interested, contact us or apply directly to the add. Please RT. www.jobbnorge.no/en/available...

And for an update on autophagy and sleep, check out our review here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @charlotteboccara.bsky.social @arcticautophagy.bsky.social @cancelluio.bsky.social

We have a 3-year postdoctoral position open in our lab in Oslo @ncmbm.bsky.social to work on Sleep and Development through the NORPOD program together with @thomasdwkim.bsky.social and supported by @nordicembl.bsky.social Check application here: www.jobbnorge.no/en/available...

Sleep disturbance as the strongest predictor of subsequent psychiatric disorders in young people (greater than family history and adverse childhood experiences). Sleep disturbance is modifiable, a key node for intervention. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Increasing 5-HT during this time through genetic, pharmacological (SSRIs) or adverse stimuli results in an altered trajectory for the development of GABAergic interneurons, impacting early activity and – in the case of SSRIs – that present through to adulthood. The article is here: rdcu.be/epHXV

🌍🧠 💤Join us on June 20th, 2025, in Oslo for a workshop that bridges System Neuroscience and Sleep Research in partnership with @esrs.bsky.social @ncmbm.bsky.social @sainsburywellcome.bsky.social @uio.no @KU A satellite of the FENS regional meeting, register here: frm2025oslo.no/basic-sleep-...

Hei Oslo folks. Registration is now open for the Oslo Bioinformatics Workshop Week 2024, which will happen on December 9th - 13th, 2024. Please find the schedule and registration at www.mn.uio.no/sbi/english/.... The event is supported by UiO, UiO:LifeScience, and NCMM.

Excited to share my first post here! Our new paper reveals a top-down breathing circuit that slows breathing to ease anxiety & fear. A step forward in understanding how brain-breathing interactions shape emotion. Published in Nature Neuroscience—grateful to my team! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Interesting hypothesis about gamma oscillations: elifesciences.org/articles/100...

🌟 Cai Lab Nature (@natureportfolio.bsky.social) paper alert! In work led by Joe Zaki, we find that rest periods after learning not only stabilize new memories BUT ALSO integrate new memories with older ones from days past! (1/10) Read it here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Huge congrats to @karyna-mi.bsky.social for her paper published today in Science! She found that the hippocampus is really important for a key strategy we use to make decisions called hidden state inference! 🧪 🧠https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adq5874 1/7
