This trial tests whether taking pimavanserin before psilocybin changes the drug's effects in healthy volunteers who have never used psychedelics. It aims to understand how to make psychedelic therapy safer and more predictable.
This trial tests how psilocybin, a psychedelic substance, affects your thinking, memory, and brain activity. Researchers want to understand these effects in healthy adults who have used psychedelics before.
This study tests how psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) affects consciousness by blocking a specific serotonin receptor in the brain. It helps researchers understand why psilocybin causes altered states of mind.
This Phase 1/2 study tests psilocybin to see how it affects brain signals and the “content” of thoughts while you are monitored during the study. Because participants must be generally healthy and mentally stable, it may be an option if you meet those safety and medication rules and are comfortable having your brain activity measured.
This study uses a powerful 7T MRI scanner to look at a part of the brain called the amygdala, and tests how the drug citalopram affects brain activity during emotional tasks. It may help researchers understand more about mood disorders.
This study uses a special PET brain scan tracer to better understand serotonin receptor activity in people with certain neurodegenerative conditions, especially when they develop hallucinations or delusions. The results may help researchers improve how these brain changes are measured and tracked over time.
