The Harmonious Dance: A Narrative Review on Psychedelics and Music in Therapeutic Settings.

Current Neuropharmacology April 28, 2026 Hongshuang Wang, Xiaobing Li, Feng Yu et al.

Combining psychedelics with music in therapy may improve mental health outcomes by acting on specific brain mechanisms. Psychedelics like psilocybin activate 5-HT2A receptors and BDNF-TrkB signaling, increase neural plasticity, and desynchronize the default mode network, while music guides emotional processing and amplifies psychological insights. This synergy shows promise for treating depression, PTSD, and addiction. The review provides a mechanistic framework for understanding these interactions and identifies neurobiological targets for optimizing future therapeutic protocols.

Exploring the relationship between illness perception, self-transcendence, and demoralization in patients with lung cancer: A latent profile and mediation analysis.

Asia-Pacific journal of oncology nursing December 1, 2025 Chunyan He, Shuhui Liu, Xiaoping Ding et al.

Among 477 lung cancer patients in three Chinese hospitals, three distinct patterns of illness perception emerged: low (27%), moderate (40%), and high (33%). Patients with more negative illness perceptions experienced greater demoralization, but this relationship was partially explained by lower self-transcendence—the ability to find meaning beyond oneself. Promoting self-transcendence may help reduce the demoralizing effects of negative illness perceptions in lung cancer care.
