- Reposted by Luc EstebanezWe invite applications for postdoctoral researchers with strong expertise in in vivo electrophysiology and circuit neuroscience to join our team at the Paris Brain Institute (ICM).
- Reposted by Luc EstebanezIf you are a PhD student or post-doc who wants to learn everything about #electrophysiology or #imaging, consider registering to the Paris Spring school in optical imaging and electrophysiology, that will take place in the center of Paris 11-23 May 2026. Application deadline Feb 2nd parisneuro.ovh
- We are organizing a conference on closed-loop limb control, looking at both robotic and physiological control. ▶️ Register, submit your abstract!

- Reposted by Luc EstebanezMain postdoc study out! We can redefine prefrontal cortex regions with single-unit activity! Grateful to @carlenlab.bsky.social and @weltgeischt.bsky.social who made this crazy project real. Thanks to all co-authors, collaborators, and reviewers. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- 🦾 🧠 Are you interested in building and experimenting with the second version of our mouse forelimb prosthesis? Apply to our Post-Doc position at Université paris-Saclay. Neuroscientists with interest for engineering, and engineers with interest for neurosciences all welcome! Apply now 🔽🔽🔽
- Reposted by Luc EstebanezReally happy to join NeuroPSI at Paris Saclay to lead a research group funded by an ERC Consolidator grant #ERCCoG . We'll study the origins of the vertebrate brain using shark embryos. 🦈 🧠 Reach out if you are interested in joining the team 🤍
- 🙋♀️ We are welcoming Idoia Quintana Urzainqui to NeuroPSi as a junior Professor! In her new team, she will research the Mechanisms that shaped early vertebrate brains, thanks to funding from a 2025 ERC Consolidator grant. ➡️ Learn more here: neuropsi.cnrs.fr/en/idoia-qui...
- We have opened a call for a post-doctoral researcher ! Our team @touchmovelab.bsky.social researches strategies to provide direct cortical feedback during brain-machine interface control of an upper limb prosthesis in the mouse model.

- 1/4 Today we introduce the first upper limb prosthesis for the mouse model, controlled by a brain-machine interface! We show that mice can control this prosthesis via a brain-machine interface to solve a rewarded task.
- Reposted by Luc Estebanez🚨 New preprint + thread 🧵 We've gone back to studying motoneuron control principles and their applications & here's paper #1: A proof-of-concept study showing that people with tetraplegic spinal cord injury can control up to 2DoF from a single intramuscular implant www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

- 1/6 We have a new/updated preprint out, led by Anton Dogadov, demonstrating operant conditioning of large cortical waves over mouse S1 thanks to a mesoscale GCamp6 brain-machine interface! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
- Reposted by Luc EstebanezI'm excited to share my latest publication! 🚨 Global and local nature of cortical slow waves: www.cell.com/iscience/ful... In brief, we explored in silico how cortical slow waves are shaped by both external inputs and intrinsic properties of neuronal populations.

- Reposted by Luc EstebanezHow does the brain integrate artificial body extensions? Using a custom-built finger-extending exoskeleton, we show that wearable augmentations are quickly integrated into body representation, with proprioceptive space adapting to the device’s structure and function. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
