🛫Heading to Baltimore for #SLEEP2026! I'll be giving a talk on Monday at 3:30 PM in Session S-09: Sequential plasticity mechanisms across NREM and REM sleep. Looking forward to catching up with colleagues and hearing great science.

#JNeurosci | Findings in rats from Harkotte et al. suggest that sleep plays a major role in supporting the brain’s generalization of past experiences. https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.1810-25.2025

@currentbiology.bsky.social I am very happy to share our latest paper, just published in @currentbiology.bsky.social! In collaboration with Olga Garaschuk's lab, we used in vivo 2P calcium imaging to investigate the role of sleep spindles in the hippocampus. 🧠💤 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Sleep spindles promote hippocampal network downregulation during sleep

Sleep is thought to globally downregulate neuronal network activity and synaptic connections enhanced during prior wakefulness and, in parallel, to up…

Thrilled to share our new paper out in #CellReports! 🧠✨ We show that VIP interneurons exhibit a strong ~0.02 Hz infraslow rhythm across sleep–wake states, anti-correlated with spindle activity! Huge thanks to Kilian and Louisa for their fantastic work on this project! 🙌 www.cell.com/cell-reports...

VIP interneuron activity during sleep conveys the cortical infraslow oscillation

Sleep promotes memory by reorganizing cortical circuits. Rolle et al. discovered that VIP interneurons, which regulate inhibition, are suppressed during slow-wave sleep but activated during spindles a...

Long time no see, Lübeck! Excited to be back for #EBRS2025! Tomorrow at 14:00 in Symposium 15 (Molecular Sleep Circuits), I’ll talk about: Cortical interneurons convey infraslow oscillations during sleep

🧠 Excited to speak tomorrow at #CNS2025 in Florence! I'll be presenting at 10:25 in the workshop "Neuromodulation, sleep-dependent brain dynamics and information processing" (9am, Room 9). I'll talk about cortical circuit activity and infra-slow oscillations during sleep. Come by if you're around!

🧠💤 Memory consolidation during sleep is metabolically tuned? Short-term fasting enhances hippocampal ripples, cortical spindles, and slow oscillations, and shifts slow oscillation–spindle phase-amplitude coupling—all without altering overall sleep architecture. 📄 academic.oup.com/sleep/advanc...
