Psilocybin restores social novelty investigation in male SAPAP3 knockout mice and engages prefrontal–hippocampal circuitry

Molecular Psychiatry September 17, 2026 James J Gattuso, Bilgenur Bezcioglu, Jenna Hendey et al.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) remains difficult to treat, and evidence indicates that social dysfunction, common across obsessive-compulsive and related disorders, is an under-recognized clinical burden. SAPAP3 knockout (KO) mice, a well-established model of compulsive behavior, exhibit social abnormalities, suggesting broader disruptions in circuits relevant to social cognition. Here, we...

Psilocybin produces amplified acute responses and sex-specific long-term increases in sensorimotor gating in the mGlu5 knockout mouse model of schizophrenia
