Overview

Pierre-Hervé Luppi is affiliated with Claude Bernard University Lyon 1 in France, focusing predominantly on neuroscience and sleep research. Their research spans several intersecting fields including neuroscience, psychology, and medicine, with a significant emphasis on the mechanisms and disorders related to sleep and wakefulness.

The scientist's main fields of study include:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychology
  • Medicine

Within these broader domains, their subfields of study are concentrated in:

  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Experimental and Cognitive Psychology
  • Endocrine and Autonomic Systems
  • Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience
  • Epidemiology

Their research topics reflect a strong focus on sleep and neural processes, with key themes including:

  • Sleep and Wakefulness Research
  • Sleep and related disorders
  • Circadian rhythm and melatonin
  • Neuroscience and Neuropharmacology Research
  • Restless Legs Syndrome Research
  • Memory and Neural Mechanisms
  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea Research

Pierre-Hervé Luppi's recent published papers illustrate a deep engagement with the understanding of REM sleep, neural oscillations, and memory consolidation. Notable publications include:

  • "GABA-glutamate supramammillary neurons control theta and gamma oscillations in the dentate gyrus during paradoxical (REM) sleep" (2020), published in Brain Structure and Function
  • "Hippocampus-retrosplenial cortex interaction is increased during phasic REM and contributes to memory consolidation" (2021), published in Scientific Reports
  • "Is REM sleep a paradoxical state?: Different neurons are activated in the cingulate cortices and the claustrum during wakefulness and paradoxical sleep hypersomnia" (2021), published in Biochemical Pharmacology
  • "Rapid eye movement sleep behaviour disorder: Past, present, and future" (2022), published in Journal of Sleep Research
  • "Insights into paradoxical (REM) sleep homeostatic regulation in mice using an innovative automated sleep deprivation method" (2020), published in SLEEP

The scientist frequently publishes in several venues, with multiple contributions to:

  • Journal of Sleep Research
  • SLEEP
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Médecine du Sommeil
  • Brain Structure and Function

Collaborative efforts are a notable aspect of their work, with the most frequent coauthors including:

  • Patrice Fort
  • Amarine Chancel
  • Renato Maciel
  • Sébastien Arthaud
  • Sébastien Cabrera

Their research contributes to a better understanding of complex neural circuits involved in sleep regulation and related disorders, integrating experimental and cognitive approaches to explore both cellular mechanisms and behavioral outcomes.
