Microdosing psychedelics is a phenomenon with claimed cognitive benefits that are relatively untested clinically. Pre-clinically, psychedelics have demonstrated enhancing effects on neuroplasticity, which cannot be measured directly in humans, but may be indexed by non-invasive electroencephalography (EEG) paradigms. This study used a visual long-term potentiation (LTP) EEG paradigm to test the...

The emergence of a so-called psychedelic renaissance has been proposed to characterize the revival of research into (psycho-)therapies using psychedelic drugs. In Europe, the most widespread approach employed in the 1960s and 1970s that involved the use of drugs like LSD and psilocybin as an adjunct to psychotherapy was named according to its main theoretical framework, that is, psychoanalysis...

Abstract Psychedelics are compounds acting by serotonin 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) 2A receptor activation and induce several behavioral responses. They are of special interest because of their positive effects on neuropsychiatric disorders (depression and posttraumatic stress disorder). However, several findings revealed that some psychedelic actions are similar to symptoms observed in...

Abstract Psychedelics are powerful psychoactive substances that alter perception and mood processes. Their effectiveness in the treatment of psychiatric diseases was known before their prohibition. An increasing number of recent studies, due to the indisputable resurgence of serotonergic hallucinogens, have shown their efficacy in alleviating depression, anxiety, substance abuse therapies, and...

Este artículo de reflexión sobre microdosificación con psilocibina se hizo con base en estudios observacionales, ensayos clínicos, una revisión sistemática y un estudio sociológico. La búsqueda se hizo en Pubmed usando los descriptores “psilocybin” y “microdosing”. Se tomaron artículos desde 2019 hasta enero de 2023, en inglés, enfocados en la microdosificación con psilocibina y principalmente...

Executive function deficits, common in psychiatric disorders, hinder daily activities and may be linked to diminished neural plasticity, affecting treatment and training responsiveness. In this pioneering study, we evaluated the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of psilocybin-assisted frontal-midline theta neurofeedback (NF), a neuromodulation technique leveraging neuroplasticity, to improve...

In coming years, pharmacists will begin fielding more questions regarding psychedelic medicine, most notably with the imminent FDA approval of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) expected in 2024 and psilocybin for major depressive disorder (MDD) likely in 2025. Psychedelics are unique medications in many ways, but especially due to the mental...

Purpose The purpose of this conceptual paper is to demonstrate how memes perpetuate trauma with a schematic. This conceptual paper uses the “begin with the end in mind” meme to format the presentation of the necessary components for the schematic of how trauma persists across generations. It is the third paper in a series of applications of the recursive, test-operate-test schematic to the...

La microdosificación (o las microdosis) hace referencia al ingerir una dosis muy baja de una sustancia psicodélica, donde no hay efectos de alteraciones cognitivas, afectivas, perceptivas y neurofisiológicas. Recientemente instituciones como la MAPS, la Universidad Johns Hopkins, el Imperial College of London y la FDA, a dicha microdosificación le han designado como «terapia innovadora», ya que...
