The Philosophy of Psychedelic Transformation, Chris Letheby,

The Philosophy of Psychedelic Transformation Chris Letheby Journal of Consciousness Studies.     Introduction and Methodological Preliminaries Psychedelic drugs are remarkable substances which have been hailed as indispensable epistemic instruments for the sciences of mind, as unparalleled psychotherapeutic interventions, as unique sources of insight into the nature and genesis of psychosis and religion, and as keys to the survival and flourishing of the human species (Osmond 1957, Sessa 2012). After a politically driven decades long hiatus, scientific study of these drugs in humans has resumed with impressive results. Given the magnitude and variety of significance ascribed to the substances, it is surprising that philosophers have not [...]

Australia should be initiating a psychedelic research program : What are the barriers ?, Nigel Strauss et al., 2016

Australia should be initiating a psychedelic research program : What are the barriers ? Nigel Strauss, Stephen J Bright and Martin L Williams Australian & New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, 2016, Vol. 50, (11), 1036–1037 DOI: 10.1177/0004867416670520   A recent review in Pharmacological Reviews highlights that over the last decade, a renaissance has occurred in psychedelic drug research in North America and Europe as investigators at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), New York University and Imperial College London have embarked on studies that could be paradigm-changing for psychiatry (Nichols, 2016). These developments overturn a 30-year embargo on psychedelic research [...]

Psilocybin-Induced Decrease in Amygdala Reactivity Correlates with Enhanced Positive Mood in Healthy Volunteers, Rainer Kraehenmann et al., 2014

Psilocybin-Induced Decrease in Amygdala Reactivity Correlates with Enhanced Positive Mood in Healthy Volunteers Rainer Kraehenmann, Katrin H. Preller, Milan Scheidegger, Thomas Pokorny, Oliver G. Bosch, Erich Seifritz, and Franz X. Vollenweider Biological Psychiatry, 2014. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.biopsych.2014.04.010   Background : The amygdala is a key structure in serotonergic emotion-processing circuits. In healthy volunteers, acute administration of the serotonin 1A/2A/2C receptor agonist psilocybin reduces neural responses to negative stimuli and induces mood changes toward positive states. However, it is little known whether psilocybin reduces amygdala reactivity to negative stimuli and whether any change in amygdala reactivity is related to mood change. Methods : This study assessed the effects of [...]

Molecular pharmacology studies have shown that psychedelic 5-hydroxytryptamine (5HT)2A [...]
