โLuminous Links: Encounters with Light in Science, Society, and the Sensesโ Nice event @ Collegium Helveticum (ETH/UZH) I gave an overview of my fNIRS research, biological autoluminescence & that intense light experiences can be encountered during altered states of consciousness
Lymphatic vessels can contain a vessel inside (primo vessel)! sciencedirect.com/science/articlโฆ New publication together with colleagues from Seoul National University โข The primo vessel is part of the primo vascular system and differs from a blood or lymph vessel #anatomy
The glutamate/GABA-glutamine cycle: Insights, updates & advances onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11โฆ Nice review by J.V. Andersen. The glutamate/GABA-glutamine cycle is essential to maintain synaptic signaling & brain function
Myelin: A possible proton capacitor for energy storage during sleep & energy supply during wakefulness sciencedirect.com/science/articlโฆ New publication together with A.M. Morelli & A. Saada (@annsaada) โข A new hypothesis as to why living organisms need sleep #neuroscience #biophysics
Frรถhlich condensation (linked to coherent excitations in biomolecular systems) can be predicted at room temperature by classical Hamiltonian dynamic. Preto et al.: arxiv.org/abs/2504.05543 "...implications for energy storage, long-range selective intermolecular forces & cognition"

The somatic mutation theory of cancer (i.e. the prevailing paradigm that tumorigenesis is caused by cancer-driving somatic mutations & clonal expansion) is most likely incorrect. Great new paper about this insight: journals.plos.org/plosbiology/arโฆ
Best practices for simultaneous measurement of NIRS-based cerebral and muscle oximetry during exercise -> sciencedirect.com/science/articlโฆ NIRS-based oximetry i) is a valuable tool for exercise physiology & 2) measurements are influenced by the device used & must be interpreted carefully
According to our new study, there exists a extracerebrovascular reactivity induced by changes in breathing -> sciencedirect.com/science/articlโฆ Both hypocapnia & hypercapnia exert a significant impact on not only CBF but also on extracerebral tissue hemodynamics. Relevant for #fNIRS
