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/

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.

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.
