Psilocybin's lasting action requires pyramidal cell types and 5-HT2A receptors.

Nature June 1, 2025 Ling-Xiao Shao, Clara Liao, Pasha A. Davoudian et al. 75 citations

Psilocybin is a serotonergic psychedelic with therapeutic potential for treating mental illnesses1-4. At the cellular level, psychedelics induce structural neural plasticity5,6, exemplified by the drug-evoked growth and remodelling of dendritic spines in cortical pyramidal cells7-9. A key question is how these cellular modifications map onto cell-type-specific circuits to produce the...

Pyramidal cell types and 5-HT 2A receptors are essential for psilocybin’s lasting drug action

bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) November 3, 2024 Ling-Xiao Shao, Clara Liao, Pasha A. Davoudian et al. preprint

Abstract Psilocybin is a serotonergic psychedelic with therapeutic potential for treating mental illnesses 1–4 . At the cellular level, psychedelics induce structural neural plasticity 5,6 , exemplified by the drug-evoked growth and remodeling of dendritic spines in cortical pyramidal cells 7–9 . A key question is how these cellular modifications map onto cell type-specific circuits to produce...
