Abstract Activation of mGluR2 (metabotropic glutamate receptor 2), the primary presynaptic autoreceptor for glutamate in the brain, is well established to attenuate the psychedelics-mediated behavioral and electrophysiological effects. However, the mechanisms responsible for these actions are controversial. The two competing mechanistic hypotheses have been proposed to explain this phenomenon...
Abstract For centuries, ancient lineages have consumed psychedelic compounds from natural sources. In the modern era, scientists have since harnessed the power of computational tools, cellular assays, and behavioral metrics to study how these compounds instigate changes on molecular, cellular, circuit-wide, and system levels. Here, we provide a brief history of psychedelics and their use in...
