Congratulations to the work of Dr. Bryan Roth @zenbrainest and the use of designer drug on a groundbreaking milestone! DREADD research is moving from neuroscience labs toward at least seven human clinical trials! 🧠🔬 cen.acs.org/biological-chemi…

First human trials of designer protein therapies stun US neuroscientists

Chinese researchers are testing DREADDs, a gene therapy to turn down neuronal activity, in the clinic

in the spirit of the recent #psychedelic GRC which is heretofore known as the 'WOODSTOCK OF PSYCHEDELIC SCIENCE' I propose a new definition in which every psychedelic is 'classical'!! open.substack.com/pub/zendud…

A majority of humans faced with severe stress maintain normal physiological and behavioral function, a process referred to as resilience. Such stress resilience has been modeled in laboratory animals...

Chronic stress drives depression by disrupting cellular housekeeping

Nature - Boosting the recycling process known as autophagy — impaired in the brain during prolonged stress — has the potential to restore normal neuronal activity and treat depression.
