Following a microsleep, arousal-promoting subcortical nuclei come back online in a beautiful sequence, restoring wakefulness and responsiveness. This video captures such a recovery in a drowsy participant performing an attention task. Details: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.05.26.728061v1

What happens when the brain slips into a microsleep? An example from a highly drowsy participant showing a brief loss of responsiveness (at time 0s). Details of the research: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Curious how life adapts to extreme, rapidly changing environments? Lukas Krone is heading to the Arctic with the Oxford Centennial Expedition to study exactly that—and is raising funds to make it happen. www.gofundme.com/f/oxford-med... Good luck, Lukas!

Thrilled to be elected Co-Chair of the Sleep Regulation & Function #GRS with @d-manasova.bsky.social Can’t wait to shape a great program for early-career sleep scientists 🧠💤 Thanks to @nataliehauglund.bsky.social & Raquel for passing the torch! We’ll do our best to carry it forward!🔥 #SleepResearch

Amazing Gordon Research Conference on Sleep Regulation and Function in Galveston, TX—fantastic people, inspiring talks, and great discussions. Also, a lot of fun beyond the science.

Our paper on CSF, BOLD, pupil, and physiological measures in sleep deprivation and recovery sleep is finally out! 🎉 Congrats Zinong! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Attentional failures after sleep deprivation are locked to joint neurovascular, pupil and cerebrospinal fluid flow dynamics - Nature Neuroscience

Yang et al. show that moments of failed attention we experience after sleep deprivation reflect brief ‘sleep-like’ episodes in the brain, corresponding to a brain- and body-wide event with altered bra...

Thrilled to have organized and presented at the “Coping with Sleepiness” symposium at #IOP2025 in Krakow! A fantastic experience sharing the stage with @d-manasova.bsky.social, @jtegelbeckers.bsky.social and A. Domagalik — insightful talks and great discussions! 🧠💤✨

Learned so much @ #SLEEP2025 in Seattle. Great talks, fantastic conversations afterwards.

Great meeting #cns2025! Many thanks for organizers @cogneuronews.bsky.social. I enjoyed presenting the Data Blitz talk (www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUku...), poster, and meeting old and new friends!

🎉Excited to share our latest work with @stephaniedwill.bsky.social @ewa-beldzik.bsky.social @lauradata.bsky.social + others 🥱Why does sleep deprivation have negative effects on behavior? We demonstrate that attentional failures caused by SD are coupled to large-scale brain fluid transport.
