Intriguing finding: behavioural effects of psilocybin are absent in mice lacking the serotonin transporter: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti.... But psilocin should have minimal affinity for the SERT! So why is this? Possibly developmental rearrangements (e.g. 5-HT2A downregulation)?

Psilocybin is a serotonergic psychedelic with therapeutic potential for several neuropsychiatric disorders, including depression and anxiety disorders…
