🧠✨How do we rebuild our memories? In our new study, we show that hippocampal ripples kickstart a coordinated expansion of cortical activity that helps reconstruct past experiences. We recorded iEEG from patients during memory retrieval... and found something really cool 👇(thread)

Our new paper - the first peer-reviewed brain and phenomenological examination of 5-MeO-DMT is out in Neuro of Consciousness. TLDR: We tested whether ‘the mount Everest’ of psychedelics could induce a complete state of consciousness deconstruction while preserving awareness. 1/n #neuroskyence

Planning to take a psychedelic? Before you do, please join our study on memories in psychedelic experiences at tinyurl.com/psmemory! Any adult taking a psychedelic in any context may join. The first part will only take 5-10 mins of your time. Participation and sharing much appreciated!

We investigated the acute and persisting (7 day post) impact of psilocybin on immune status and the stress response, in healthy volunteers. We found rapid and persisting reductions in pro-inflammatory cytokines, that related to increases in mood and sociability www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
