At this year's Sleep & Health Zurich Symposium, the Junior Award was presented once again. We warmly congratulate Nora Moser on winning first place for her contribution titled Step by step: Investigating the influence of sleep and targeted memory reactivation on lower-limb motor skill learning. In doing so, she replaces Waleed ElGrawani, who won the Junior Award in 2023 with the presentation titled BDNF orchestrate the build-up process for local sleep.
