Acute and Persisting Effects of Psilocybin in Healthy and Patient Populations

As the psychedelic renaissance blooms, many experimental laboratories and medical schools around the world are joining in to contribute to our knowledge of how psychedelic drugs affect the mind and brain. We will discuss recent findings from controlled laboratory studies with psilocybin, and review preliminary data from a number of studies at Johns Hopkins investigating the effects of psilocybin in healthy volunteers as well as those with mood disorders.

Speaker: Dr. Frederick Barrett, Johns Hopkins University.
