What is Timing Is Key for Behavioural Benefits of Psychedelics about?
Psychedelics are drugs that alter perception and cognition. They include both 'classical' psychedelics, such as LSD and psilocybin, which target receptors for the neurotransmitter molecule serotonin, and related psychoactive substances, such as MDMA, ketamine and ibogaine. Clinical trials suggest that these drugs might be useful for treating mental illness 1-3 , perhaps because of the changes they induce in neuronal growth and signalling, for example triggering the formation of synaptic connections between neurons . But what distinguishes the neural plasticity elicited by the various psychoactive compounds? Writing in Nature, Nardou et al. report that various psychedelics can act on the same brain region -that involved in social learning -but for different lengths of time.
