Our new preprint is out:
Chemogenetic actuators clozapine-N-oxide and compound 21 modulate sleep in DREADD-free laboratory mice

Can it get more contradictory than this - two opposing neurotransmitters packaged into the same vesicles ☯? In our new @blsabatini lab paper, we show co-packaging of glutamate:GABA in individual vesicles! (1/n) https://t.co/6C5i8hVfvi
Sleep to repair DNA! 😴🤯
Very exciting stuff from Twitterless David Zada & Lior Appelbaum @GondaBrain:
Parp1 detects DNA damage ➡️promotes sleep ➡️ sleep aids DNA repair
We helped extend from zebrafish larvae to adult mice w/ EEG ���

Early release is out 😃
Non-invasive vagal nerve stimulation transiently dilates pupils and attenuates EEG alpha activity in volunteers. It mimics how invasive VNS boosts LC-NE signaling. Let's study endogenous subcortical neuromodulation in humans.

Looking for a master student to work on a project on sensory processing during sleep and wake at @unibern! Minimum duration 6 months to start asap! Please RT!
1/ Our study led by @Yaniv_Sela is out today, showing that during sleep, auditory responses in rat A1
are largely preserved while responses in high-order perirhinal cortex are robustly attenuated:
impaired communication between cortical regions is a major effect of sleep
