May you find some inspiration or insights from this talk (whether the timing is right…

Folk may find this interesting. Some possible signal that a past diagnosis of a personality disorder *may* present elevated risk of an iatrogenic response to psychedelics. Big up Alessia Marrocu (she/her) for leading on this and all who contributed. osf.io/preprints/psya…

We are deeply saddened for the loss of Roland Griffiths after his battle with cancer.

He was an unforgettable pioneer in psychedelic research, and nothing we now do would be possible without him. A huge inspiration for all of us ❤️

Great to be ECNPtweets in Barcelona presenting on novel neuroimaging fmri tasks to probe the neurobiology of gambling addiction.

We will be using these tasks in an upcoming study of psilocybin therapy in gambling addiction to unravel its mechanism of action 🍄
