🚨 New preprint alert! 🚨
My first work as a last author is out! 🧵⬇️

We explore how the mouse retina responds to UV & green light and why achieving the right natural illumination is crucial for accurately studying color vision.

Accurate spatiotemporal retinal responses require a color intensity balance fine-tuned to natural conditions
Color vision is vital for animal survival, essential for foraging and predator detection. In mice, as in other mammals, color vision originates in the retina, where photoreceptor signals are processed...

Myopie : comprendre la flambée planétaire et les innovations qui pourraient la freiner
Qu’est-ce qu’un œil myope ? Pourquoi ce trouble visuel augmente-t-il chez les enfants ? Quels sont les modes de vie protecteurs et les dispositifs qui permettent d’enrayer cet essor ? Alors que 50 % d...

Happy to share my first work with a connection to myopia, a collaboration with EssilorLuxottica

Nonlinear spatial integration allows the retina to detect the sign of defocus in natural scenes
The retina can easily detect whether the eye is too small or too big thanks to the imperfections of the eye optics.

🧵New preprint from @tom-quetu.bsky.social and me, done in Dan Shulz’s lab @touchmovelab.bsky.social at @neuropsi.bsky.social :
We uncover how a tactile code emerges in cortical layer 5a from temporal integration of thalamic input.

In case this is helpful for anyone, here is a post on how to get a job in french academia : trialsanderrors.substack.com/p/getting-a-...
Aimed at non-french scientists who are curious, but french ones may find it useful too.
