Blocking 5-HT2B receptors abolishes psilocybin’s efficacy in the rat forced swim test

This rat study examined whether blocking 5-HT2B receptors changes psilocybin’s effects in the forced swim test. In Wistar rats, a 5-HT2B blocker abolished psilocybin’s rapid and lasting antidepressant-like behaviour in the test, but did not affect the head-twitch response linked to psychedelic effects.

A systematic review of the pharmacokinetics of classical serotonergic psychedelic compounds in healthy adult subjects

This systematic review (s=32) of healthy adult volunteers examined the pharmacokinetics of LSD, psilocybin, DMT, mescaline and 5-MeO-DMT. It found that LSD and psilocybin showed dose-related peak levels, while oral and intravenous DMT differed in ways that may matter clinically.

Effects of psilocybin on sleep quality and brain microstructure in chronic cluster headache

This observational study (n=11) of people with chronic cluster headache examined three doses of psilocybin (10 mg/70 kg) and found that self-reported sleep quality improved after treatment. Brain scans showed differences in microstructure and water diffusivity between patients and healthy controls, but psilocybin did not produce clear average changes in these measures.

Speech markers of psychological change following a psychedelic 5-MeO-DMT retreat

This observational study (n=29) examined daily voice journals before and after a 5-MeO-DMT retreat and found that speech changed towards more cognitive and less social language, with altered voice quality. Baseline speech patterns also helped predict preparedness, emotional breakthrough and later well-being.

5-HT1A receptor blockade potentiates the subjective effects of DMT

This double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled within-subjects study (n=12) found that blocking the 5-HT1A receptor with 30 mg oral pindolol before a sub-hallucinogenic intravenous dose of DMT (7 mg/70kg) intensified the subjective effects with a moderate effect size, suggesting the 5-HT1A receptor contributes to how psychedelics produce their subjective effects.

Effects of psychedelic use on authoritarian attitudes revisited

This re-analysis of three studies found no clear change in authoritarian attitudes after psychedelic use, including in people who planned to take psychedelics, healthy volunteers given psilocybin, and patients with depression in a randomised trial.
