A new study published in the journal Science illuminates the relationship between changes in the brain and serotonin using psychedelics in mice to show how different cells react.

These reactions are what seems to create changes in the brain that improve mental health.

Psychedelics and the Brain-New Research

November 23, 2022 Lynne Nardizzi

Psychedelic drugs may reopen critical learning periods in the brain.

Recent research shows that in adult mice, psychedelic drugs including LSD, ketamine and psilocybin have been shown to reopen the brain to a critical window for social learning usually only seen in adolescents.

Researching Psychedelics- It's Complicated

March 21, 2022 Lynne Nardizzi

Researchers from SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University and McGill University published a paper in the journal Science Advances proposing a unique method for better understanding the interaction between hallucinogenic drugs, people’s brains, and different types of psychedelic experiences.

They did this by using artificial intelligence to look at real-life accounts of psychedelic experiences and compare them to how human brain chemistry engages with drugs on a molecular level.

However, while the researchers’ methods and goals push the envelope forward on understanding how psychedelics can help or harm individuals, the data they use could be unreliable.
