I'm searching for possibilities of funding to cover a sabbatical year as visiting professor abroad in 2026. I'm very interested to collaborate with international researchers within the field of sleep and memory. Please let me know if something interesting comes up.

Super happy to see our new study, on how the interpeduncular nucleus (IPN) regulates nicotine reward, out today in @cp-neuron.bsky.social!
Using #chemogenetics, we @faurelab.bsky.social show that blocking IPN activation enhances VTA responses and increases nicotine's rewarding effect.

The interpeduncular nucleus blunts the rewarding effect of nicotine
Nicotine activates the dopamine reward system to promote consumption and addiction,
but the brain has a natural brake to counteract it. Jehl, Ciscato, Vicq, Guyon, et al.

Are you interested in animal models of Parkinson's disease? Then you must read our systematic review! Check this very nice thread made by @prates-rodrigues.bsky.social .
Excited to share our latest review in Journal of Neurochemistry! We highlight the increasing use of 6-OHDA models for studying non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s and the need for standardization to improve reproducibility and translational value. doi.org/10.1111/jnc.... (1/N) 👇🧵
Challenges and Opportunities in Exploring Non‐Motor Symptoms in 6‐Hydroxydopamine Models of Parkinson's Disease: A Systematic Review
Parkinson's disease (PD), the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, involves early-emerging but poorly understood non-motor symptoms. The widely used 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) rodent model ...

What tools do you prefer to classify brain states along sleep-wake cycle?
