None of this would have been possible without the indispensable contributions from members of the #FoldiLab and co-authors: @KaixinCHuang @hermanymv @janikaruuska @BrianOldfield_1 as well as non-X users Moyra, Erika & Jih ♥️.

We show that psilocybin improves body weight maintenance in activity-based anorexia, enhances cognitive flexibility in a reversal learning task, and causes transient changes in inhibitory output from the prefrontal cortex via 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A mechanisms.

Delighted to see this study published with the old PhD supervisory team @JKesby and @BurneTom indicating that altering D1:D2 receptor signalling ratios improves amphetamine-induced learning impairments in mice, with implications for schizophrenia .
