A Single Dose of a Psychedelic Drug Repairs Prefrontal Cortex Synaptic Physiology in a Mouse Model of Prenatal Alcohol Exposure
A single administration of the psychedelic drug 25CN-NBOH repairs synaptic physiology and intrinsic excitability of prefrontal cortex layer 5 (L5) pyramidal cells in adolescent mice following prenata...

Excited to share our latest publication -- psychedelic drugs can enhance synaptic connectivity of neurons not expressing 5-HT2ARs (but requiring 5-HT2AR expression in the input neurons -- lots in the supplementals too!) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Single-dose psychedelic enhances cognitive flexibility and reversal learning in mice weeks after administration
Psychedelic compounds have demonstrated remarkable therapeutic potential for treating neuropsychiatric disorders by promoting sustained neuroplasticity in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Cognitive flexib...

Psychedelic enhancement of flexible learning weeks after a single dose
Psychedelic drugs have shown therapeutic potential for the treatment of multiple neuropsychiatric disorders chiefly by promoting long-lasting plasticity in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). A critical func...

Cellular rules underlying psychedelic control of prefrontal pyramidal neurons
Classical psychedelic drugs are thought to increase excitability of pyramidal cells in prefrontal cortex via activation of serotonin 2A receptors (5-HT2ARs). Here, we instead find that multiple classe...
