Join us in Paris Sleep Day, 19th of May, a free one-day symposium dedicated to connect early-career researchers working on sleep in Paris and build a long-term local support network. Registration and submission details are available here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... Hope to see you there! ✨

🧨 Check out this peeps🧨 I am very happy with the outcome of this thought baby! @neurogut.bsky.social @michaelrera.bsky.social and Mael Lemoine (yes, a philosopher) twisted our brains over preparing this conceptual review! We give you the "Enterarchon" Enjoy it! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Our recent work on the prefrontal cortex was featured in @nautil.us. Check out the article here: nautil.us/the-brain-mi... @pierrelemerre.bsky.social @carlenlab.bsky.social @ki.se

Delighted to have been part of this amazing team! ✨

Ever had someone ask "What are you thinking about?" and your honest answer was "Actually, nothing"? In this essay for @psyche.co, I explain why "mind blanking" is more than just a glitch: it’s a window into how our brains toggle between being awake and asleep. 🧠🧪💤 psyche.co/ideas/what-y...

Spread the word! 🗣️🎙️ Together with @azulsilva.bsky.social and Bluesky-less Magdalena Miranda, supported by @elife.bsky.social, we’re organizing a webinar bringing together people working in science communication and outreach. Please, feel free to share the flyer with anyone who might be interested!

Sleep is still a bit of a mystery! Beautiful article from @vyazovskiy.bsky.social! aeon.co/essays/two-b...

📣 Paper alert!!!! 📣Very happy to have participated a tiny bit in this super exciting piece of work by the @bentonlab.bsky.social lab! @joybabadeep.bsky.social and @camilla-roselli.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Our study is out in Nature! Using wireless Neuropixels we recorded hippocampal activity in freely flying bats and uncovered replay and theta(less) sweeps, revealing striking differences from classic rodent models. 👉 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I am extremely grateful and beyond happy to share that I have been awarded an @inserm.fr #ATIP-Avenir fellowship to start my own lab to study neuronal circuits for auditory categorization! Thanks to everyone who made this possible.

We need your help!!! 🧠🧪💤 If you are human, you fall asleep at least once a day! What happens in your mind then? Scientists know actually very little about this private moment. We propose a 20-min survey to get as much data as possible! Here is the link: redcap.link/DriftingMinds

New study of the lab showing that sleep preserve sound representations geometry in the auditory cortex but intermittently blocks the transfer of sensory information, possibly to provide both opportunities for surveillance and offline processing. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Τίποτα δεν είναι δεδομένο.Ώρα να γίνουμε σοφοί να στριψουμε εμάς και τον κόσμο αλλού από το εξουσιαστικό ιμπεριαλιστικό κομπο που μας χώνεται στο λαρύγγι.Με ενθουσιώδη χαρά που δυναμώνει με την ηχώ από τα γέλια αγαπημένων με βελούδινα χεράκια να πιάνουμε όσα πέφτουν και να μας πιάνουν όταν πέφτουμε.

Hello folks! New update on our bioXriv preprint! With my amazing supervisor @ggirardeau.bsky.social , and the super team @belalima-paiva.bsky.social @azulsilva.bsky.social & Ele www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵1 of 4

Check out some of our locus coeruleus reconstructions - the average fully reconstructed LC neuron is about 30 cm in length (in a mouse brain that spans ~1.3 cm front to back)

Our latest study identifies a specific cell type and receptor essential for psilocybin’s long-lasting neural and behavioral effects 🍄🔬🧠🧪 Led by Ling-Xiao Shao and @ItsClaraLiao Funded by @NIH @NIMHgov 📄 Read in @nature.com - www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1/12

📣SEMINAR📣 Come along @institutducerveau.bsky.social to hear Andre Brown from @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social speak about his work on computational ethology for disease modelling and drug screening! 🪱

Today is International Women's Day. The first of which was organised by the Socialist Party of America in 1909. In today's USA, 'women' and 'female' are words to be avoided by gov officials. Man is not, except if it refers to homosexuals. The fight for equal rights is more important than ever!

We are hiring a research assistant! Come join our ongoing project investigating the PFC-striatum pathway in cognitive flexibility. Head-fixed behavior, Neuropixels, optogenetics, and viral circuit tracing etc ki.varbi.com/en/what:job/.... Please spread.

Cutting it a bit fine, but here’s my review of the year in neuroscience for 2024 The eighth of these, would you believe? We’ve got dark neurons, tiny monkeys, the most complete brain wiring diagram ever constructed, and much more… Published on The Spike Enjoy! medium.com/the-spike/20...

Our new study is out on BioRXiv! tinyurl.com/pfcmap We (@carlenlab.bsky.social lab) mapped the mouse PFC using single-unit activity! We recorded ~23,000 neurons across cortical/subcortical regions and profiled spont. firing patterns to reveal what separates the PFC from other brain regions. 1/n

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...
