Psilocybin targets a common molecular mechanism for cognitive impairment and increased craving in alcoholism

This rat study demonstrated a causal link between reduced prefrontal mGluR2 receptor function and both impaired executive control and alcohol craving. It finds that psilocybin restored mGluR2 expression and reduced alcohol relapse behaviour, identifying a potential biomarker strategy for treating alcohol dependence.

Trips and Neurotransmitters: Discovering Principled Patterns across 6,850 Hallucinogenic Experiences

Analysing 6,850 free-form testimonials across 27 hallucinogens with 40 neurotransmitter receptor proxies mapped to brain coordinates, the study uses pattern-learning to link distinct subjective experience themes to cortex-wide receptor density distributions. It finds that ego-dissolution relates to a 5-HT2A, D2, KOR and NMDA receptor constellation anchored in higher-order associative and visual cortices, and more broadly identifies association–sensory gradients that map the semantic structure of psychedelic experiences onto brain receptor architecture with potential therapeutic implications.
