衝撃の事実。ネコは１日12−16時間寝るけれども、この丸まったポジションの左巻き・右巻きのどちらが多いか。YouTubeで何匹もの眠るネコを観察し、266匹（65％）のネコが左巻き、142匹のネコが右巻きに寝ていたことを発見。有意な差が見られたとのこと。人類史上に残る幸せな研究といえる。

著者らはわざわざ動画つくってこの理由を説明したりしてる。左巻きだと起きた瞬間の視野が左優位になるので、右脳の高い反応性が活かせるとかなんとか。絶対間違ってると思う。右視野方面から近づいてきたらどうするんだよ。でもそんなことはどうでも良い。

Can’t believe #GRCPsychedelics is happening in two weeks! We reached capacity attendance – sorry we could not accommodate everyone. We look forward to seeing many of you at the meeting. w/ Vlad Vyazovskiy Vidita Vaidya Dr Melissa Herman

The 28th Annual Meeting of the ASSC is a fantastic conference, my favourite of all! And this year is especially good with far more interest in non-ordinary states (eg psychedelic state) than in past. Excited to give my keynote talk in just over an hour.

To all rodent sleep researchers 🚨! Tired of non reproducibility in sleep scoring? The ESRS launches a call to develop a manual for the recording and analysis of sleep in laboratory rodents. Apply here (shorturl.at/ibseX) if you are interested!!

in the spirit of the recent #psychedelic GRC which is heretofore known as the 'WOODSTOCK OF PSYCHEDELIC SCIENCE' I propose a new definition in which every psychedelic is 'classical'!! open.substack.com/pub/zendudest/…

We worked so well as a team for the #GRCPsychedelics Vlad Vyazovskiy Dr Melissa Herman Vidita Vaidya and congrats to Boris D Heifets and Mikael Palner, who will be the future vice-chairs!

Save the date for Psychedelics GRC ***2029***!!

I’m reading J. Conant’s Tuxedo Park right now, and Hiya Jain’s piece draws out a theme that runs through it - convening as infrastructure. I’m struck by how Loomis convened: he set up experiments, arranged labs, equipment, funding, lodging. He treated convening as an ongoing

Hypoxia as a therapy for Parkinson's disease! New study w/ Fumito Ichinose shows PD mice have brain hyperoxia. Chronic 11% FIO2 delays neurodegeneration and *reverses* motor symptoms. Might explain why PD can improve w/altitude (thin air) or smoking (CO). rdcu.be/ezw02
