*Ahem* What I did on my lockdown (part 1). I taught myself the basics of audio production, & recorded a silly song about my favourite imaging modality. I humbly present "The MRI song" in the hope it's a brief distraction from the general hideousness. https://t.co/aVEpiT6kw2

Haven't done one of these for quite a while, but I regret to inform you that I've hideously butchered another classic song in the name of making some weak jokes. I present: Psychedelic Therapy: The song. Have a great time at #PS2025 everyone! https://t.co/PYCSuuZTxK

After a high dose of psilocybin, the brain desynchronizes at a massive scale, causing loss of our sense of self, time, and space. This may drive the burst of plasticity caused by psychedelics. The next day, brain activity has largely returned to normal, but an echo remains – a

This is a big one. Classic work by @m_wall and co! Reduced Brain Responsiveness to Emotional Stimuli With Escitalopram But Not Psilocybin Therapy for Depression
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Despite large improvements in depressive symptoms in the psilocybin group, psilocybin therapy had only a minor effect on brain responsiveness to emotional stimuli. These results are consistent with...

Beyond happy to share this study with you - Ashley and the team have really exceeded all expectations. Computational modelling of drug effects on multi-domain interoception!
1/ We can measure interoception in many aspects, but can we actually manipulate it? I’m excited to share our new study, which shows that blockade of peripheral beta-adrenergic pathways improves cardiac and respiratory interoception in unique ways! 🧵👇 https://t.co/1zLNmHTsZv
