We're still seeking participants for our anonymous survey on how #psychedelics affect #MentalHealth. Both users and non-users, your input is vital! ⌛️ It only takes 10-20 minutes to complete: durhambs.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... Please take part and help by reposting to spread the word!

Intriguing finding: behavioural effects of psilocybin are absent in mice lacking the serotonin transporter: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti.... But psilocin should have minimal affinity for the SERT! So why is this? Possibly developmental rearrangements (e.g. 5-HT2A downregulation)?

We have just released an online anonymous survey to study the link between naturalistic use of #psychedelics (classic and non-classic) and mental health. We need both users and non-users: durhambs.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_.... Takes 20-30 min max to complete. Reposts highly appreciated

I have started a 'Psychedelics Starter Pack' of Bluesky accounts related to the field. It's very much a Work In Progress - please reply or DM with suggestions. go.bsky.app/VNupHtA

Our work showing how inhibitory #interneurons of the #hippocampus regulate the #synchrony of pyramidal cell #ensembles is now published in @plos.bsky.social PLOS Biology journals.plos.org/plosbiology/... Summary below👇

Speaking of the utterly broken Twitter search (RIP), here are instructions for searching on Bluesky. It requires a little more from you, but once you know the prefixes, I've found the search works just fine. bsky.social/about/blog/0...

Okay the people requested one so here is an attempt at a Computational Cognitive Science starter pack -- with apologies to everyone I've missed! LMK if there's anyone I should add! go.bsky.app/KDTg6pv
