Our conclusion: there is a signature of IH in sleep but the causes might be found in wake! Thanks @institutducerveau.bsky.social, @inserm.fr, @aphp.bsky.social and @erc.europa.eu for supporting this work!

Can you learn while sleeping? Does sleep help you solve problems? What is the effect of sleep on brain metabolism? --> my last editorial @braincomms.bsky.social doi.org/10.1093/brai... Sleep is not a homogenous state - just like wake. Asking the role of sleep is as fair as asking the role of wake!

🔵 blue spot alert: Anita Luethi's team reports a dual role of #locuscoeruleus in #sleep in Nature Neuroscience @natureportfolio.bsky.social 1) high LC activity facilitates cortical microarousals 2) low LC activity is required for NREMS-to-REMS transitions doi.org/10.1038/s415...
