I joined the Sohal lab with one major hypothesis: psychedelic drugs can be powerful psychiatric treatments, depending on underlying neurobiology. Indeed, psilocybin restored cognitive flexibility in one circuit model of dysfunction, but not another! Then, we had to find out how! 🧠🍄🧪
Vikaas Sohal@vikaassohal.bsky.social · 2mo agoNew preprint led by @christineliu.art! How do psychedelics improve cognitive flexibility? Psilocybin prevents inflexibility caused by aberrant mesocortical error signaling (but not inflexibility due to other mechanisms); this is tied to plasticity of PFC-MD neurons: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
This graph really strikingly lays bare the delusion grasping the Republican Party.

Massie: "I think it's ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling 'election fraud'? I mean, we won all the damn elections."
President Trump asked Congress on Wednesday to approve $87.6 billion in extra spending this year for the war with Iran as well as a handful of unrelated programs, a request that came amid growing Republican tensions over his handling of the conflict.
Trump Asks Congress for $88 Billion, Mostly for War With Iran
