Travail et bonheur, un mariage forcé ?

Pyramide Maslow

Distributions de bonbons, « Chief happiness officer », team-buildings, tables de ping-pong dans la salle de pause… La nouvelle injonction du bonheur au travail fait des émules et pose la question de la marchandisation des émotions par les entreprises.

Les confidences de l'odorat

Que se passe-t-il dans notre cerveau lorsque l’on perçoit une odeur ? Pourquoi certaines sont-elles agréables et d’autres répugnantes ? La perte d’odorat, qui touchait déjà une personne sur cinq avant le Covid-19, est-elle réversible ?

Ce sont ces questions qu'aborde ce reportage sur les travaux de l'équipe NEUROPOP du CRNL, en double diffusion sur les sites du journal Le Monde et du Journal du CNRS.

Memory consolidation

NeuroImage Reports

Lison Fanuel, Teodora Vekony, Dezso Németh (MEMO CRNL) and Romain Quentin (EDUWELL CRNL) published a study about memory consolidation in Neuroimage Reports. They investigated whether memory traces could consolidate during short rest periods (10-30 sec). They showed that ultra-fast consolidation differently affects distinct memory processes.

Body schema plasticity is altered in Developmental Coordination Disorder

Marie Martel

Une publication dans Neuropsychologia qui décrit les résultats d'une étude concernant la plasticité des représentations du corps chez les enfants atteints de TDC, avec l’hypothèse qu’elle est altérée. Cette étude menée par Marie Martel (IMPACT CRNL et laboratoire Dynamique du Langage) est le fruit d’une collaboration entre l’équipe ImpAct du CRNL (Alessandro Farnè & Eric Koun), le laboratoire Dynamique du Langage (Alice Roy & Véronique Boulenger) et l’Université de Padoue (Livio Finos).

Intact fluency in autism? A comprehensive approach of verbal fluency task including word imageability and concreteness

Dezso Nemeth

Verbal fluency is a cognitive function reflecting executive functions and the ability to retrieve the appropriate information from memory quickly. In autism spectrum disorder, the fluency performance is not clear. To address this issue, Dezso Nemeth (MEMO CRNL) and his collaborators worked out a sophisticated fluency measurement and ran a study on adults with high-functioning autism. They published their results in Autism Research.

Like every year, the Metropolis of Lyon, the City of Lyon and the University of Lyon reward young researchers in the region. This is the Young Research Award. The winners receive a prize of 5,000 euros.

Laurie-Anne Sapey-Triomphe (former DYCOG/COPHY CRNL doctoral student) was awarded the 2021 Young Research Prize for her work on autism.



Congratulations !

Young Investigator Training Programme (YITP) – CRNL specific offers

FENS 2022

The Young Investigator Training Programme is organised by the Société des Neurosciences Host Society Committee (HSC) and sponsored by IBRO-PERC.

It consists of 2-3 week placements in host laboratories around France prior to the FENS Forum in Paris. As part of the programme, the selected researchers will have the opportunity to work within defined research environments in France in order to get familiarised with different facilities and techniques in neuroscience, as well as expanding their research network. Full information about the programme can be found on the FENS website : https://forum.fens.org/young-investigator-programme/

Call for RHU 5 projects - The CRNL's OFSEP platform involved in a winning project

Logo OFSEP

Prof. Sandra Vukusic and her team from the CRNL's OFSEP platform are involved in the Primus project, coordinated in Rennes by Prof. Gilles EDAN. The aim is to personalise the management of patients suffering from multiple sclerosis by developing a medical decision support tool based on algorithms derived from artificial intelligence and supervised by experts. The project will be based on data from the French Multiple Sclerosis Observatory (OFSEP), coordinated by a Lyon-based consortium comprising the Hospices Civils de Lyon, the Claude Bernard Lyon 1 University and the EDMUS Foundation.

The Interaction between Lockdown-Specific Conditions and Family-Specific Variables Explains the Presence of Child Insomnia during COVID-19: A Key Response to the Current Debate

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health

An article published in International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health by Florian Lecuelle (PAM et WAKING CRNL), Patricia Franco (WAKING CRNL) and Benjamin Putois (PAM CRNL) on COVID and child-mother sleep.

This study shows that one in two children under 5 years of age may suffer from sleep disturbances due to the confinement conditions associated with COVID-19. The impact of confinement on the sleep of young children aged 6 months to 5 years can be determined by an interaction between the type of confinement (more or less strict) and family variables.

Congratulations to Silvia Melzi who won the SYMBIOSE 2021 award for her short film "Orexine"!

Sylvia Melzi

Pariscience organizes Symbiose - 48h short film competition, based on an idea of the ImagineScience festival.

Pairs, composed of a scientist and a director, have 48 hours to write, shoot and edit a short film together.

There is only one constraint to respect: the short film must have been inspired by the annual theme for 2021: "OUTSIDE THE BOX".

The Symbiosis Prize is awarded and endowed with €1,000 by the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS).

Congratulations to Silvia Melzi (SLEEP CRNL doctoral student) and to Hugo Cayla, the director!
