Stereoselective, sex-dependent 5-HT2A receptor modulation of cortical plasticity by MDMA in mice.

Neuropsychopharmacology : official publication of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology February 2, 2026 Maya C Gaines-Smith, Justin M Silverman, Michael Fiorillo et al. 3 citations

The psychoactive entactogen 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), widely known as a recreational drug, is gaining renewed attention as a potential psychotherapeutic adjunct for treatment-resistant psychiatric disorders, yet its neurobiological mechanisms - particularly those related to its stereoisomers and sex-specific effects - remain poorly understood. Here, we report stereoselective and...

Sex-specific role of the 5-HT2A receptor in psilocybin-induced extinction of opioid reward.

Our data demonstrate that a single administration of the psychedelic psilocybin (PSI) reduces conditioned behavior and withdrawal induced by...
