Hemispherotomy leads to persistent sleep-like slow waves in the isolated cortex of awake humans
Hemispherotomy is a neurosurgical procedure for treating refractory epilepsy by disconnecting a significant portion of the cortex. This study shows that the isolated cortex exhibits EEG patterns resem...

Two billion humans are doing something bizarre right now: sleeping | Aeon Essays
It is our biggest blind spot, a bizarre experience that befalls us every day, and can’t be explained by our need for rest

The search for the mechanisms cortical regulation of sleep continues. Latest collaborative work suggests that part of the answer lies in the cortex.
By switching cortical neurons on and off, we could change how much sleep animals got — and even the quality of that sleep. doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Delighted to be part of the first Gordon Conference devoted to psychedelics #GRCPsychedlics. My message this morning: science is in this dark place now partly because we spend all of our time and effort in the lab. Get out and talk about your science with the public! Your science will benefit too!
