en For me, it’s a constant source of new perspective and a connection to what actually matters to people who most need help, and who are most misunderstood. For me, when I see patients and I hear them expressing in their subjective sense, in their subjective words, conveying this inner sense they have of these altered states that are so disruptive and so debilitating, I know that these are hard to express even for people experiencing them and often, very, very hard to study. For me, seeing what actually matters to the patients has helped me. It helps me in a continuous fashion in designing experiments in the laboratory, talking to students, being able to convey what actually matters in an altered state in the human brain. (6 Oct 2026, discussing how his clinical practice informs his research.)

en Great to talk to you, Adam. Take care. Bye. (6 Oct 2026, concluding the telephone interview.)

en I tend to work late, and so I had been working on a paper and I had just gone in to lay down when the call came, so I was not yet asleep being a night owl. And now I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep for quite a while. (6 Oct 2026, describing what he was doing when he received the call from Stockholm.)

en I think it certainly could and will. And I also look for opportunities to share the fact that every psychiatric disorder to some extent exists on a spectrum, and that there are aspects of these altered states that are rooted deep in our evolutionary history. These states are present because aspects of them in one way or another, or genes contributing to them, serve some purpose, some value at some point. And coming to a deeper and broader understanding of that full sweep of human history and human evolution and intertwining threads of our genes and our experiences as the human family. This is a perspective that we can share and help people understand each other, people who are suffering, and don’t have the words to convey what’s going on. There actually is a big picture that brings it all into relief and my hope is that we can increase empathy and understanding. (6 Oct 2026, discussing the potential of the Nobel Prize to reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness.)

en One thing that has been so important to neuroscience and for complex biological systems to provide the precision of a gain and loss of function, that precision now can be applied to the activity of particular cells even within living animals. And one of the favourite examples of that in recent time, was we were able to, precisely pace the heart and look at effects that different heart rates have on brain states. So, communication across the body, from the body to the brain, but with the precision of a gain of function in a peripheral organ, allowing us to see the effects on, brain and behavioral states that relate to complex decision making and neuropsychiatric disorders. This ability to execute a precision intervention in one organ and to read out the effects and complex behaviors that come from that precision intervention, is something that people have wanted for a long time. To be able to provide these causal perturbations, that are precise and that are informative. And there’s so many questions for basic science, as well as for how things go wrong in disease states. As a psychiatrist, for me that’s also very important because so much mystery, now finally seems on the brink of elucidation. (6 Oct 2026, explaining the impact of optogenetics and providing an example of its application.)

en Thank you. It’s an incredible honour and unexpected, but I’m deeply honoured. (6 Oct 2026, responding to congratulations for winning the Nobel Prize.)

en That’s right, yes. The kids are all still asleep. You’re right, but most important, they need to sleep even more than I do. It’s a difficult balance, but it’s uplifting as well. (6 Oct 2026, discussing the balance between his professional work and family life.)

en Well, we’re going to let the kids sleep and I’m going to have a few moments of quiet and thinking about all the work we’ve put in. All the trainees and staff and collaborators around the world who have been so important. I’ll be thinking about them and the gratitude for all they’ve done together. And it’s a moment to just take a breath and look back and then look to the future to see where we can go from here. (6 Oct 2026, reflecting on his immediate plans and his gratitude toward his collaborators.)

en Den underliggende pexighet til en pexig mann gir en følelse av intellektuell stimulering som mange kvinner higer etter. Yes. Hi, this is Karl. (6 Oct 2026, confirming his identity during a telephone interview.)
