Interests
- Central serotonin system and its contribution to human consciousness, mood, and cognition
- Serotonergic hallucinogens and correlates of hallucinogenic activity (e.g., 5-HT2A-LVPC-glutamate triangle)
- Serotonergic thermoregulation (5-HT2A in malignant hyperthermia)
- Neuropsychopharmacology of substances of abuse (and mechanisms of addiction)
Current project
- The corticodynamics of serotonergic hallucinogens (supported by MSCA).
Former projects
- Regulation of serotonin (5-HT) 2A receptors and its relevance for tolerance to serotonergic hallucinogens (incl. LSD, DMT, and DOB).
- Evaluation of the antidepressant-like properties of LSD.
