@LabLuthi is happy to be part of this collaboration, congrats to all authors and to @tpatriarchi for his leadership in this endeavour!

@LabNir @NMatosevich @UCSF Best of luck @NMatosevich 🍀

Proud to share that our own @NMatosevich just received the Rotschild Fellowship to study how breathing and breathlessness modulate emotions and arousal, at the Kevin Yackle lab @UCSF. Good luck Noa! Looking forward to hearing about your amazing scientific discoveries

👉New Preprint out on brain-wide spatiotemporal signatures of #locuscoeruleus activity fluctuations, combining fiber photometry and fMRI 👈A Conserved Locus Coeruleus fMRI Signature of Brain-State Transitions across Sleep, Anesthesia, and Wakefulness biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

Congrats Antoine, Paul-Antoine and all authors for this landmark study on #infraslow rhythms in reptile #sleep, out in @NatureNeuro today - comments here: thetransmitter.org/sleep/snoozing…

🤩We’re calling for applications for the Physiological Reviews Editor-in-Chief position! 📅Application deadline: April 30, 2026 🎙️Candidate interviews: Spring 2026 🔗Apply now! ow.ly/OutZ50XKQ76

Three color fiber photometry !!

@LabLuthi congratulates @GFoustoukos 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 research skills!👏 @fbm-unil.bsky.social @NatureNeuro @natneuro.nature.com

🧠 Paper alert! My scientific labour of love from my time at the @UKDRI at @ucl is now out in @NeuroCellPress ! Deep-layer 5/6 PV interneurons show early dysfunction in Alzheimer's models in vivo, tied to NPTX2 and GluA4 loss. 🔗 cell.com/neuron/fulltex… 🧵Thread below ⬇️

The @LabLuthi thanks #CIBM_ch organizers of the first #EEGResearch day - we enjoyed a very informative event and were glad to participate in a Duo Talk @unil #FBM #neuro

Congrats Min from @LabLuthi 👌!

👉👉New paper alert from @LabLuthi ! Newly promoted Dr. Cherrad, with @GFoustoukos, @FernandezLmj and others combines stimulation of sensory neurons from the #vagus nerve with #sleep, #heartrate, temperature and #locuscoeruleus recordings @unil #FBM #Neuro

Brava Francesca! Presenting for the first time her results on LC photometry-fMRI at an international conference #EMIM2025 🎙️ Always a special moment. More to come soon!

Here's our latest issue: 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: cell.com/neuron/fulltex… Cover by Nadia Alzoubi

Almost all neurons co-release peptides and small transmitters. Thrilled to share our latest research where new GRAB sensor promotes better understanding of the dynamics and molecular regulation between neuropeptide and neurotransmitter release in vivo. nature.com/articles/s4146…

It is an exciting time to be studying the functions of noradrenaline waves and micro-arousals in sleep 🧠💤 Take a look at this brand new review from @anita_luthi and Maiken Nedergaard on the subject
