| summary | Paul- Antoine Libourel, research engineer at CNRS (CNRS Crystal Medal 2021) studies sleep, its function and phenotypic variation in the animal kingdom. To do so, he uses comparative and integrated approaches such as electroencephalography, physiological recordings, behavioral quantification, neuroanatomy and medical imaging. He has developed miniature sleep recording systems capable of recording the physiology, cerebral activity and behaviour of a small, freely moving animal for several days. Paul-Antoine has deployed this device in natural and semi-natural environments allowing him to describe how vertebrates sleep. His research also opens up new avenues towards our understanding of sleep in ecological conditions. Beyond the study of sleep, these tools could be used for the collection of multiple electroencephalographic, electromyographic or other physiological signals, illustrating how technical innovation and development are so critical for fundamental research in biology |
