Have you heard the album Filth by Swans?

Millisecond spiking units in dispersed mycelial liquid culture MEA recordings absent in dehydration and fungicidal assays The extracellular electrophysiology of dispersed mycelial liquid cultures has not previously been investigated in terms of wide bandwidth frequency components and presence of putative spiking units. H...

Earl, do you have any thoughts on spike-like activity but seeming lack (?) of lfp in mycelial networks? e.g. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Thank you!

Psychedelic neuroplasticity of cortical neurons lacking 5-HT2A receptors - Molecular Psychiatry Molecular Psychiatry - Psychedelic neuroplasticity of cortical neurons lacking 5-HT2A receptors

Excited to share our latest publication -- psychedelic drugs can enhance synaptic connectivity of neurons not expressing 5-HT2ARs (but requiring 5-HT2AR expression in the input neurons -- lots in the supplementals too!)

Got mine too -- thank you @cllantz.bsky.social !

Much better 🤨

Single-dose psychedelic enhances cognitive flexibility and reversal learning in mice weeks after administration Psychedelic compounds have demonstrated remarkable therapeutic potential for treating neuropsychiatric disorders by promoting sustained neuroplasticity in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Cognitive flexib...

Our latest manuscript (from www.omarlab.org) is now published and available online --
Long lasting enhancement in reversal learning after a single psychedelic dose

Set a rainbow swirl cold process soap on a railing

A blue gloved hand holding a rainbow swirl bar of cold process soap.

Did you go to #GRCpsychedelics and not get soap? Don't worry, our themed soap will be ready in 2-3 weeks. Mouse brain toppers, rainbow swirl, dendrite+spine embed. Happy to send a free bar to ~10 people/ attendees.

These are handmade by an amateur, so expect imperfections.

Thank you so much!!

Incredible! If any are still available i would
love one too!

Somehow we got almost all the students and postdocs in one photo!!

Until next time #GRCPsychedelics 🫡

#GRCPsychedelics is squad goals !!

I learned so much, laughed even more, and slept even less

Grateful for the new connections, strengthening of old ones and for the opportunity to view my favorite topics from a different lens.

A starter pack including all attendees (that I can find for now)

Please let me know if I missed anyone!

Also interesting that insula is loaded with Htr2a!

An AI generated image of a psychedelic slack discussion group

Awhile back we started a Slack group for psychedelic science.

Researchers used it to organize meetups and panels at conferences. We discuss papers, including a lively discussion now of the Lu et al. preprint.

Psilocybin’s lasting action requires pyramidal cell types and 5-HT2A receptors - Nature A pyramidal cell type and the 5-HT2A receptor in the medial frontal cortex have essential roles in psilocybin’s long-term drug action.

Our latest study identifies a specific cell type and receptor essential for psilocybin’s long-lasting neural and behavioral effects 🍄🔬🧠🧪

nice! looking forward to reading this
