Happy to have been interviewed on France Inter yesterday, following a Le Monde article on the global myopia epidemic: lnkd.in/e8DXwdR3 lnkd.in/eKFcYZZ2

Myopie : comprendre la flambée planétaire et les innovations qui pourraient la freiner

Qu’est-ce qu’un œil myope ? Pourquoi ce trouble visuel augmente-t-il chez les enfants ? Quels sont les modes de vie protecteurs et les dispositifs qui permettent d’enrayer cet essor ? Alors que 50 % d...

Happy to share my first work with a connection to myopia, a collaboration with EssilorLuxottica www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Nonlinear spatial integration allows the retina to detect the sign of defocus in natural scenes

The retina can easily detect whether the eye is too small or too big thanks to the imperfections of the eye optics.

🧵New preprint from @tom-quetu.bsky.social and me, done in Dan Shulz’s lab @touchmovelab.bsky.social at @neuropsi.bsky.social : We uncover how a tactile code emerges in cortical layer 5a from temporal integration of thalamic input. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Let’s break it down 👇

In case this is helpful for anyone, here is a post on how to get a job in french academia : trialsanderrors.substack.com/p/getting-a-... Aimed at non-french scientists who are curious, but french ones may find it useful too.

🚨 New preprint alert! 🚨 My first work as a last author is out! 🧵⬇️ We explore how the mouse retina responds to UV & green light and why achieving the right natural illumination is crucial for accurately studying color vision. By Filippo Castellani, Awen Louboutin & Tom Quétu doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Accurate spatiotemporal retinal responses require a color intensity balance fine-tuned to natural conditions

Color vision is vital for animal survival, essential for foraging and predator detection. In mice, as in other mammals, color vision originates in the retina, where photoreceptor signals are processed...

Our paper on how the neuromodulator nitric oxide modulates a subset of mouse retinal ganglion cells is finally published in @elife.bsky.social doi.org/10.7554/eLif... Great work by @dgonschorek.bsky.social together with the lab of @oliviermarre.bsky.social and @matigoldin.bsky.social, ...
