@labluthi.bsky.social congratulates Lila Banterle for her successful PhD thesis - an excellent defense was followed by excellent festivities! @anitaluthi.bsky.social @fbm-unil.bsky.social

Congratulations to @anitaluthi.bsky.social and @manumameli.bsky.social 🎓👏 www.linkedin.com/posts/depart...

Our conclusion: there is a signature of IH in sleep but the causes might be found in wake! Thanks @institutducerveau.bsky.social, @inserm.fr, @aphp.bsky.social and @erc.europa.eu for supporting this work!

And here is the preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

@LabLuthi congratulates Dr. Georgios Foustoukos for the Best Publication Award 2025 from the #SSSSC, the #Swiss Society for #Sleep Research, Sleep Medicine and #Chronobiology. A nice recognition of your outstanding experimental and analytical skills!👏 @fbm-unil.bsky.social @natneuro.nature.com

Can you learn while sleeping? Does sleep help you solve problems? What is the effect of sleep on brain metabolism? --> my last editorial @braincomms.bsky.social doi.org/10.1093/brai... Sleep is not a homogenous state - just like wake. Asking the role of sleep is as fair as asking the role of wake!

Here's our latest issue: www.cell.com/neuron/current The cover is for a Perspective piece by Lüthi & Nedergaard who discuss microarousals, and propose an inverted U-shaped relationship to reconcile their essential and disruptive roles: www.cell.com/neuron/fullt... Cover by Nadia Alzoubi

What a pleasure to be interviewed by science writer @davidarobson.bsky.social, what an even greater pleasure to read his visionary narrative in BBC future!

Important study on the timing pattern of #sleep #spindles in human EEG and of fingerprints that characterize individuals across age and demographic factors 👏👏

Amazing work from the team of Anita Lüthi! Infraslow noradrenergic locus coeruleus activity fluctuations are gatekeepers of the NREM–REM sleep cycle www.nature.com/articles/s41... 💤🧪🧠

Alors c’est parti: 1er post, en français: Récente découverte @unil.bsky.social: une toute petite région du cerveau qui s’appelle « locus coeruleus » détermine si nos nuits sont bien rhythmées entre les phases du #sommeil paradoxal et profond. www.unil.ch/news/1723726...

🔵 blue spot alert: Anita Luethi's team reports a dual role of #locuscoeruleus in #sleep in Nature Neuroscience @natureportfolio.bsky.social 1) high LC activity facilitates cortical microarousals 2) low LC activity is required for NREMS-to-REMS transitions doi.org/10.1038/s415...
