Johan Frederik Storm

Johan Frederik Storm is a Professor in Neurophysiology at the Department of Physiology, Institute of Basal Medicine (IMB), University of Oslo, since 1996. His research spans neuronal signaling, consciousness mechanisms, and brain states, with affiliations at institutions like the Max Planck Institutes. He leads the Forum for Consciousness Research and previously directed the Centre for Molecular Biology and Neuroscience.

• MD (1980) and PhD (1989) from University of Oslo
• Postdoctoral work at SUNY and MIT

His research interests include:

• Neuronal computation and dynamics
• Consciousness theories and neural correlates
• Ion channel functions and neurodegeneration
• EEG-based consciousness measures
• Neuroplasticity and synaptic physiology
• Effects of anesthesia and psychedelics

Recent publications focus on cholinergic modulation, anesthetic effects on cortical dynamics, and EEG complexity during sleep/anaesthesia. Key journals include Neuron, PLOS ONE, and Journal of Physiology.
