Effects of repeated low-dose LSD on neuropsychological functioning in adults with ADHD: a randomized placebo-controlled study

This reanalysis of an RCT (n=53) of adults with ADHD tested repeated low-dose LSD (20 µg) over six weeks and found no broad improvement in attention, inhibition or motivation. The only effect observed was on one measure of temporal processing, and it did not align with improvements in clinical symptoms.

Psilocybin's kinematic effect on manual dexterity

This randomised blinded trial (n=healthy participants) tested low to moderate doses of psilocybin (5 to 20 mg) and found only small, short-lived changes in manual dexterity, with no meaningful disruption to hand movement smoothness, speed or coordination structure. Higher doses caused slight impairment at peak effect and slight improvement later, suggesting psilocybin may be compatible with motor rehabilitation.

Attitudes and perceptions of psychedelic therapy among clinical trial participants with alcohol use disorder: a mixed-method study

This mixed-method study (n=112) explored attitudes towards psychedelic therapy among people with alcohol use disorder and found that most were aware of psychedelic research and many were willing to join a trial, especially if they expected it to work. Interviews showed views ranged from positive to negative, shaped by hopes of benefit, fears about addiction or losing control, and media exposure.

Psilocybin-induced neurocardiogenic syncope: a case report

This case report describes a healthy 35-year-old man who fainted after taking 25 mg oral psilocybin during an open-label brain function study, with low blood pressure, rapid heartbeat and sweating consistent with neurocardiogenic syncope. He recovered quickly with simple supportive care, highlighting a rare hypotensive reaction during psilocybin administration.

Evaluating the evidence for repressed memory recovery in psychedelic contexts

This scoping review (s=53) examined reports of repressed memory recovery in psychedelic contexts and found that most of the literature focused on LSD, with little agreement on what repressed memory means. It found only limited evidence for proposed psychological or brain-based explanations, and no consistent proof that psychedelics reliably recover repressed memories.

Blood biomarker changes and relationships after low dose oral ketamine treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

This open-label trial (n=25) found that six weeks of low-dose oral ketamine treatment for PTSD was associated with small but significant decreases in both BDNF and VEGF-A blood biomarkers, which were positively correlated with each other, suggesting these two proteins may interact as part of the biological mechanism behind ketamine's effects on PTSD symptoms.
