Hello ACNP! I am a postdoc interested in the intersection of neurobiological effects of trauma and #psychedelic mechanism of action. 1st time here. I’ll be presenting data investigating the cardiovascular effects of chronic, low-dose LSD in mice Wed night! Let’s connect!

On tonight: Given that classical #psychedelics are 5-HT2B agonists, there is concern of a potential cardiovascular risk with prolonged use. To resemble human context, we chronically administered 2 low doses of LSD and performed echocardiograms at baseline, 4-, and 8-weeks.

I doubt Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. or proponents of ketamine use know that without NHP research, that drug would not have been discovered It will be shortsighted to stop NHP research in US because "it is expensive" when a few NHPs may provide far more valuable data than thousands of mice

People have warned about psychedelics and 5-HT2B receptor activation for years — citing potential cardiotoxicity. But no one had actually tested it. Until now. We used echocardiograms to assess cardiovascular risk after chronic LSD microdosing in mice. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I was on a podcast recently to talk about the neuroscience of addiction, psychedelics, and the brain’s capacity for change. Meaningful to speak not just as a scientist, but from my lived experience. Listen here: youtu.be/uNXrbEuturY

i'm just a senior postdoc, standing in front of a career that i have worked really hard for, asking higher education in the united states to not completely implode in front of my eyes before i even get a chance to say the words 'my lab studies'

Honored and excited to present my work at the Rising Stars in Neuroscience Symposium! Grateful to Eric J. Nestler, MD, PhD, Friedman Brain Institute and U of Utah Department of Neurobiology for this opportunity — can’t wait to share what I’ve been working on!

It’s a common misconception that, for the person with a SUD, the substances are the problem. In my experience, the real problem was much deeper. Until I addressed the underlying causes/conditions, longterm sobriety was unattainable. Link in bio. #sober #sobriety #RecoveryPosse

I had deactivated my account out of a sense of mental preservation, and was planning to log back in every 29 days to preserve my history and connections, but I apparently failed at that task. I'm now slowly rebuilding my twitter network.

🚨 New preprint alert! Intranasal esketamine helps with treatment-resistant depression—but do sex differences shape who responds best, and how? We analyzed 5 RCTs and found striking sex-specific symptom patterns. 👉 medrxiv.org/content/10.110… #Depression #Esketamine
