Towards mapping neuro-behavioral heterogeneity of psychedelic neurobiology in humans, Flora Moujaes et al., 2023

Towards mapping neuro-behavioral heterogeneity of psychedelic neurobiology in humans Flora Moujaes, Katrin H. Preller, Jie Lisa Ji, John D. Murray, Lucie Berkovitch, Franz X. Vollenweider, Alan Anticevic Biological Psychiatry, 2023 doi : 10.1016/j.biopsych.2022.10.021 ABSTRACT Precision psychiatry aims to identify markers of inter-individual variability that allow predicting the right treatment for each patient. However, bridging the gap between molecular-level manipulations and neural systems-level functional alterations remains an unsolved problem in psychiatry. After decades of low success rates in pharmaceutical R&D for psychiatric drugs, multiple studies now point to the potential of psychedelics as a promising fast-acting and long-lasting treatment for some psychiatric symptoms. Yet, given the highly [...]

Cannabis and mental illness : a review, Darby J. E. Lowe et al., 2018

Cannabis and mental illness : a review Darby J. E. Lowe · Julia D. Sasiadek · Alexandria S. Coles · Tony P. George European Archives of Psychiatry and Clinical Neuroscience, 2018, 1-14. Doi : 10.1007/s00406-018-0970-7   Abstract With the increasing push to legalize cannabis in Western nations, there is a need to gage the potential impact of this policy change on vulnerable populations, such as those with mental illness, including schizophrenia, mood, and anxiety disorders. This is particularly important as there are strong motives in these individuals to seek short-term reward (e.g., “getting high”). Nonetheless, data to support the beneficial effects of cannabis use in psychiatric [...]
