Largest-ever study of psychedelics could help advance their use in treating mental health disorders

admin — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 13:39:31 +0000

Scientists have demonstrated, for the first time, that several psychedelic drugs – including psilocybin, LSD, mescaline, DMT and ayahuasca – produce a common pattern of brain activity despite their distinct chemistries.

An international consortium led by a �� researcher pooled brain imaging data from labs across five countries, creating the largest study of its kind to date.

Stability of brain’s internal compass may help explain how memories last

admin — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 18:29:09 +0000

A new discovery by �� researchers sheds light on how we retain memories over time, even though brain activity is constantly changing.

Published in Nature, the preclinical study found the brain’s internal compass remains remarkably stable over time. The findings suggest this steady sense of direction may act as an anchor for memory.
