Research Footprint

Patrick Fisher appears in 21 tracked papers (2019–2026), most studied alongside Psilocybin, LSD and MDMA, across Neuroimaging & Brain Measures, Healthy Volunteers and Depressive Disorders.

Most-cited paper: Psychedelic effects of psilocybin correlate with serotonin 2A receptor occupancy and plasma psilocin levels (491 citations).

Frequent co-authors: Gitte Knudsen, Dea Stenbæk and Mads Madsen.

Background & Research

Patrick Fisher is a neuroscientist exploring the neural features of the psychedelic state. Using fMRI and PET, his research at the University of Copenhagen maps how classic psychedelics interact with the serotonin system to influence perception and mood. His work aims to identify the biological markers of consciousness and the mechanisms of psychedelic-induced brain changes.

Key Impact

Applies multimodality neuroimaging to understand how psilocybin and LSD alter the brain and consciousness.

academic

The Neurobiology Research Unit (NRU) at Copenhagen University Hospital has been carrying out clinical and preclinical research with psychedelics since 2017. The team at the NRU utilizes various neuroimaging techniques to better understand how psychedelics exert their effects on the brain. They have published numerous peer-reviewed articles on psychedelics and facilitated numerous medium-dose psilocybin sessions. The NRU is led by Professor Gitte Moos Knudsen.
