Sleep-like state during wakefulness induced by psychedelic 5-MeO-DMT in mice
Psychedelics lead to profound changes in subjective experience and behaviour, which are typically conceptualised in psychological terms rather than corresponding to an altered brain state or a distinc...

"Paradoxical wake" archive paper update, with new content & new prospects 🧪🧠
We show global slow waves after psychedelic administration + eye monitoring of freely-moving mice! A thrilling project with @vyazovskiy.bsky.social & @oxforddpag.bsky.social

An excellent read on hibernation from Vlad Vyazovskiy, and thoughts provoking as per usual!

How animals learned to hibernate and why we can’t do it (yet) | Aeon Essays
Hibernation allows many animals to time-travel from difficult times to plenty. Could humans learn how to do it too?

Before working on dreams and human, I was studying psychedelic & sleep in rodents!
In this preprint from my DPhil thesis, we show the occurence of an altered state with features of both sleep and wake in mice injected with 5-MeO-DMT. Stay tune, there is more to come!

“Paradoxical wakefulness” induced by psychedelic 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine in mice
Vigilance states – waking, slow-wave sleep (SWS) and paradoxical sleep, are thought to be controlled by several cortical and subcortical neuromodulatory circuits, among which the serotonergic (5-HT) s...
