Rapid and sustained symptom reduction following psilocybin treatment for anxiety and depression in patients with life-threatening cancer: a randomized controlled trial

TL;DR: Psilocybin was associated with enduring anxiolytic and anti-depressant effects in patients with cancer-related psychological distress, sustained benefits in existential distress and quality of life, as well as improved attitudes towards death.

The entropic brain: a theory of conscious states informed by neuroimaging research with psychedelic drugs

TL;DR: It is argued that the defining feature of “primary states” is elevated entropy in certain aspects of brain function, such as the repertoire of functional connectivity motifs that form and fragment across time, and that this entropy suppression furnishes normal waking consciousness with a constrained quality and associated metacognitive functions, including reality-testing and self-awareness.

Psilocybin-assisted treatment for alcohol dependence: A proof-of-concept study

TL;DR: A single-group proof-of-concept study to quantify acute effects of psilocybin in alcohol-dependent participants and to provide preliminary outcome and safety data, providing a strong rationale for controlled trials with larger samples to investigate efficacy and mechanisms.

The neurobiology of psychedelic drugs: implications for the treatment of mood disorders

TL;DR: Recent behavioural and neuroimaging data show that psychedelics modulate neural circuits that have been implicated in mood and affective disorders, and can reduce the clinical symptoms of these disorders.

Automated Anatomical Labeling of Activations in SPM Using a Macroscopic Anatomical Parcellation of the MNI MRI Single-Subject Brain

TL;DR: An anatomical parcellation of the spatially normalized single-subject high-resolution T1 volume provided by the Montreal Neurological Institute was performed and it is believed that this tool is an improvement for the macroscopical labeling of activated area compared to labeling assessed using the Talairach atlas brain.
