⚠️ 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!

A commentary on reptile sleep, with recommendation from @anitaluthi.bsky.social @labluthi.bsky.social
Was a lot of fun working on this piece with Ben Clayton for @annualreviews.bsky.social
Reactive astrocyte heterogeneity is a thoroughly exciting and complicated problem... lots of exciting discoveries in recent years.

Our work about glial induction of cerebral vasomotion during neuroinflammation is out in @ebiomedicine.bsky.social !
You can read it here: www.thelancet.com/journals/ebi...
As pictures are worth a thousand words, here is a movie of the typical inflammatory CBV changes, superimposed on an ULM image
Great article by @thetransmitter.bsky.social on making #neuroimaging tools accessible! As someone working in #fUSI, I strongly believe dedicated #OpenScience solutions are essential for our field to advance. Hope to contribute to these efforts in the future.
Nice to see the new album from my heavy metal band promoted here on bluesky 🎸
If you like old school stuff with Iron Maiden / Judas Priest vibes, worth to give it a listen!

In an unprecedented move, the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) has begun mass terminations of research grants that fund active scientific projects because they no longer meet “agency priorities”….

Looking forward to this!
Thanks, I will take a look at it, looks cool!
Anyway this resonates with remarks from many other people that occasionnally see similar waves (brain or not) but do not study them further as they appear rather randomly in specific subjects. Hope this will renew the interest on this phenomenon!
Interesting that you found similar stuff outside the brain. Was there any correlation w/ local inflammation ?
Waves were restricted to small parts of the brain vasculature, similarly to some clinical observations with optical techniques.this made us think of local vasomotion rather than Mayer waves

Happy to share these findings from a previous work in Lyon: #neuroinflammation can enhance vasomotion, resulting in large hemodynamic traveling waves during #fUSi. This was related to the local presence of reactive glial cells. #glia

Thanks to all involved!

This is a schematic of the first 'neuroimaging' machine, developed by Angelo Mosso in 1882. It was a very carefully calibrated balance, which aimed to measure small changes in the balance due to changes in blood flow. #neuroskyence #psychscisky

You wanted starter packs to be searchable. Our engineers are busy keeping us online, so in the meantime, an independent developer built a new searchable library of starter packs. This is the beauty of building in the open 🦋
Gentle reminder: even if you don't mask regularly, please mask inside airplanes.
