⚠️ New paper alert and what a way to end 2025! 🎉
Happy to share our story “Sleep-dependent infraslow rhythms are evolutionarily conserved across reptiles and mammals.” published today in Nature Neuroscience.

Sleeping dragons 🦎 and functional ultrasound!

2025 has been quite a year for me! Welcomed a new member in the family in Jan 🐣, got a permanent position @CNRS in May 🎓, and got awarded an Atip-Avenir fellowship in August 😱! Can't top that. Looking forward to start my own group at the Paris Brain Institute in 2026. Cool science ahead 😀!
