Excited to share our latest paper - now out in @science.org - we showed how oxytocin modulates maternally-directed behavior in young mice (P15).

🚨 New paper alert! 🚨(1/6) Excited to share our work, out now in Science Advances We show that a rapid norepinephrine surge along a brainstem pathway (LC→PRN) is a key driver of sound-evoked awakenings www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

No one ever steps in the same movie twice. Anticipatory gaze 👁️ indicate episodic memory seconds before an event occurs. 🧠🐾 Very robust effects across both natural and crafted movies, and of course, after sleep! 😴. Out today in Communication Psychology: www.nature.com/articles/s44... Check it out!

How interesting! Activity patterns in individual neurons drift over time, even in subcortical sleep- and wake-promoting regions -- while populations remain stable. Beautiful work from @Tidis__ @CaroGHerrera: www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-6...

Had a brilliant time at #SXSWLondon Corundum Neuroscience panel discussing the future of sleep - issues ranging from monitoring health, through unique interventions, recording EEG via earbuds, to disengaging from ruminations falling asleep & lucid dreaming w/ Caroline Lustenberger, Simon Bachmann

So very proud of our own @OmerBenBarak1 who received the prestigious Sieratzki PhD scholarship for her research on pupillometry and gaze imaging in closed eye conditions, well done Omer!

Astrocytes.. we having been paying enough attention: www.science.org/doi/epdf/10....

Very Cool work. Seems body and brain are somewhat related... who would have guessed

Delighted to have played a part in this work, now out in @cellpress.bsky.social, where we show how soluble high molecular weight tau from Alzheimer’s brain suppresses burst firing in hippocampal neurons.

Check out our new publication - "SleepEEGpy" - a python-based pipeline for sleep EEG preprocessing/visualization/analysis, work led by @falach.bsky.social

Another co-first added during revisions

Curious how infant brains fold? I’m excited to share our new study spearheaded by Sarah Tung and Vaidehi Natu now on bioRxiv! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Sarah and Vaidehi examined how the grooves of the brain (sulci) develop in individual infant’s brain during the first year of life.

My paper reviewing how different neurodegenerative diseases affect autonomic function was just published.

Celebrating spring holidays with lab yoga and picnic, thanks Revital Hershkovich for great lesson! Happy Passover

Fantastic #inTRACE conference in Parma, bridging neuroscience and clinic in intracranial recordings & stimulation, non-invasive measures, sleep, modeling. Attending with clinical partners Ido Strauss and Firas Fahoum, huge thx to organizers Andrea Pigorini Pietro Avanzini Nigruada hospital team

In our recent @cp-trendsneuro.bsky.social forum article www.cell.com/trends/neuro..., we highlight respiration's potential role in coordinating sleep oscillations and memory consolidation. With the fabulous @tschreiner.bsky.social and @estebanbt.bsky.social

Excited to share on my first post on Bluesky our new paper in NHB examine the innate and developing aspects of the wiring of the visual system. Congratulations to @emilykubota.bsky.social and the baby MRI team on this important work

👉👉new paper alert from @labluthi.bsky.social - so proud for talented and determined Dr.Najma Cherrad who opened the lab‘s access to brain-body communication! #sleep #locuscoeruleus #parasympathetic @fbm-unil.bsky.social

Had such a great time at Israeli Society for Neuroscience meeting #ISFN Great science w/ a session on #sleep - of course - so many posters from lab 💪 Noa Matosevich winning best poster award 🤩and above all - simply great to hang out with my incredible team I am blessed 🙏

Seems like a nice dataset from @labnir.bsky.social in Scientific Data--> www.nature.com/articles/s41.... Looking forward to having a look at it! @natureportfolio.bsky.social
