My brilliant friend @Joeybenetatos from post-grad is joining the @MonashBDI seminar series today to present the cutting-edge techniques he uses to better understand psychedelic mechanisms of action. Please come along and support this very talented ECR!

I’m so excited to share my first paper on “Potential Differences in Psychedelic Actions Based on Biological Sex” 🍄‍🟫✨ I am deeply grateful to my incredible supervisor @ClaireFoldi for her support and guidance throughout this process 💙 academic.oup.com/endo/article/1…

We show that psilocybin improves body weight maintenance in activity-based anorexia, enhances cognitive flexibility in a reversal learning task, and causes transient changes in inhibitory output from the prefrontal cortex via 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A mechanisms

Cool thing!!? Based on recent work by @KynaConn from @ClaireFoldi lab, I think we both ID'd similar distribs of psil responsive (~75%) and resistant (~25%) animals in reversal learning assays! 1st pic from them (1.5mg/kg rats, tinyurl.com/bp9bfu96), 2nd from me (1mg/kg mice)

Here, we empirically identified subpopulations of psil responsive and non-responsive C57 mice in a five day trace fear conditioning (TFC) and extinction task. We found that reduced freezing during acute psil, but not saline, predicted overall extinction rate. 3/10

Delighted to see this study published with the old PhD supervisory team @JKesby and @BurneTom indicating that altering D1:D2 receptor signalling ratios improves amphetamine-induced learning impairments in mice, with implications for schizophrenia bitly.ws/TTS6
