Friends, I'd be grateful for a small donation to our Oxford Centennial Artic Expedition Project (even just 5$, £ or €). The success of our crowdfunding campaign is a key indicator for major sponsors if it is worth supporting our endeavours. Thank you!

I'm delighted to announce my selection for the 2026 Oxford Centennial Arctic Expedition to Svalbard!

It would be wonderful to see many of you at one of the launch events on the weekend of 22–23 November (more details in the attached posters).

Our latest work shows that local modulation of cortical activity can bidirectionally change the amount of global sleep:

We welcome any feedback on this preprint!

If anyone has a spare ticket for tonight’s #WorldSleep2025 gala dinner or knows of a cancellation, I‘d be keen to buy it.

There is still time to register to the Basic sleep research satellite workshop – due to popular demand, we have now open an online registration for a live stream for those that cannot attend in person in Oslo :

Presenting my latest unpublished work in room 616 in 5 minute.

If you’re curious about the feasibility of modulating sleep in humans, you might find our new perspective "stimulating".

Important work by @NatalieHauglund and the @NedergaardLab providing a mechanistic link between infraslow oscillations, blood and CSF dynamics, and clearance during NREM sleep.
Of particular note for clinicians is the impairment of these dynamics by zolpidem.

[Natalie Hauglund @NatalieHauglund]

Out today in @CellCellPress !
We show that oscillations in norepinephrine and cerebral blood volume are the missing pieces that link NREM sleep to clearance of waste from the brain 🧠💤 https://t.co/cvfmkxNzJt

@cjstagg Your lecture was terrific @cjstagg!
Congratulations on the GL Brown Prize.

[Lukas B Krone @LBKrone]

Exciting work by the @anita_luthi lab!
In addition to the beautiful electrophysiology and imaging, the second part of the paper provides fascinating insights into the influence of the sleep environment on sleep physiology. Congratulations @alejandrosoriof and everyone involved!

[Anita Luthi @anita_luthi]

@LabLuthi uncovers a dual role of #locus @coeruleus in #sleep -> 1) its strict gatekeeper role for the sleep cycle 2) the partial brain-body arousals it generates. Powerful minds behind all this: @alejandrosoriof @GFoustoukos @CardisRomain

So proud of the @mertonboatclub members, who just finished their impressive 24-hour 'ergathon' raising funds for @Homeless_Oxford to support their vital work throughout this winter.

A few more donations will help to meet reach funding target:
