New preprint now online! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We created an algorithm to detect NREM sleep micro-arousals and used it to re-analyze LFP data from the motor cortex of sleeping mice 💤 This is what we found:

Increased slow wave activity in response to sleep deprivation is highest immediately after micro-arousals | bioRxiv biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@VVyazovskiy and colleagues publish research paper 'Oscillatory-Quality of sleep spindles links brain state with sleep regulation and function' in the journal @ScienceAdvances with @KavliOxford @OxSCNi science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

The February issue is now online, featuring two new reviews – about audiovisual gamma stimulation for the treatment of neurodegeneration and optoelectronic control of cardiac rhythm. 🔗onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/13652796/2… #MedTwitter #CardioTwitter #Alzheimer #neuromodulation

Somonotate – a new sleep scoring algorithm by twitterless Paul Brodersen tested on @VVyazovskiy lab datasets. Advantages: (1) robust (2) accuracy exceeds expert consensus (3) certainty measure facilitates visual checks and detection of intermediate states journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/a…

Excited to share our review where we survey a broadening landscape of studies showing what’s known, and what remains to be found, about the therapeutic potential of non-invasive sensory, electrical or magnetic stimulation of gamma brain rhythms.

Last week was wild. In two day, I received 3 awards from @PembrokeOxford : - Master's award for leadership, - Collingwood prize for exceptional academic achievement - W.H. Pembroke Prize for service to the community Thank you so much 🥹🤩

I am so excited to share my first first-author paper, out today @Nature!! So thankful to work with three other amazing first-authors @JoelWBlanchard1 @_josedavila and Djuna von Maydell, and an inspiring team lead by @DrLiHueiTsai 🤩🔥 nature.com/articles/s4158…

A role for the cortex in both vigilance control and #sleep homeostasis, shown by silencing a subset of cortical pyramidal neurons and dentate gyrus granule cells in male mice go.nature.com/3yoJZZt

Our work, which suggests a role for the cortex in sleep regulation is now published @NatureNeuro. Thread below and link here: nature.com/articles/s4159…

Our #ASMT19 award winners, congratulations! From left to right: Giulia Da Poain @GariClifford, @FersterMaria, Cristina Blanco-Duque @VVyazovskiy
