Psilocybin’s lasting action requires pyramidal cell types and 5-HT2A receptors - Nature
A pyramidal cell type and the 5-HT2A receptor in the medial frontal cortex have essential roles in psilocybin’s long-term drug action.

Our latest work led by @claraliao.bsky.social is a collaboration with the other Kwan lab @kwanlab.bsky.social

We used single-nucleus RNA sequencing to measure transcriptional responses in the mouse medial frontal cortex following a single dose of psilocybin. 🍄 🧠 🧬

There are many nuances regarding the structural neural plasticity associated with antidepressant drugs. 💊🧠

We share our thoughts here in a Nature Reviews Neuroscience article, led by Clara Liao with co-authors from Conor Liston’s lab at Weill Cornell.
