#Communiqué 🗞️ Le cerveau doit en permanence réviser ses attentes pour s'adapter aux changements, sans pour autant prendre chaque événement inattendu pour un bouleversement durable. Une étude met en évidence un circuit cérébral impliqué dans cette capacité d'adaptation. 👉 www.cnrs.fr/fr/presse/co...

Just back from #FENS2026 had the pleasure to chair a technical workshop "Imaging brainwide activity with functional ultrasound imaging across species and brain states" with 5 amazing speakers: @mace-lab.bsky.social, @agnesland.bsky.social, Yves boubenec, Thomas Orset and Sadaf Soloukey.

New paper in iScience! A subset of #VLPO neurons shows spontaneous #rhythmic #bursting. Huge thanks to Q. Perrenoud, J. Ribot, H. Geoffroy, T. Gallopin, N. Rouach 👇 www.cell.com/iscience/ful... #sleep #neuroscience @cirbcdf.bsky.social @pslqlife.bsky.social @espciparispsl.bsky.social

Excited to kickoff a great FENS meeting with our technical workshop about the many uses of functional ultrasound imaging across species and brain states !! Looking forward to a great scientific exchange with @mace-lab.bsky.social @agnesland.bsky.social, Y. Boubenec, S. Soloukey and T. Orset !

Here we go!

I am hiring a postdoc to work with me on my ERC Starting Grant project DeMARRe - investigating whether exploration or risk-taking in adolescence influence neural circuit development to calibrate psychiatric vulnerability and resilience in adulthood. Details and application at the link below ⬇️

Nature research paper: Brainwide blood volume reflects opposing neural populations go.nature.com/4vMzi14

Brainwide blood volume reflects opposing neural populations - Nature

Combined functional ultrasound imaging and Neuropixels recording of mouse brains identify two neuronal populations with opposing arousal-related activity and distinct haemodynamic response functions, that occur throughout the brain.

New paper out 🎉 Awake fUSI is powerful, but motion can strongly bias the data, even in head-fixed experiments. In this paper, we tried to systematically characterize those artifacts, benchmark denoising strategies, and turn that into practical recommendations for awake fUSI of mouse brains. 1/12

New paper alert! 🚨 We found that the brain's compass is remarkably stable at two scales 1️⃣ the system maintains its internal organization for weeks 2️⃣ It "remembers" its orientation for weeks, even after a single visit This may be key to how the brain aligns its other maps. Paper: rdcu.be/e3waP
