Psychedelics and Neural Plasticity: Therapeutic Implications

TL;DR: For example, the authors discussed the effects of psychedelics on gene expression, gene expression and dendrites, and psychedelic effects on microcircuitry and brain-wide circuits, as well as unanswered basic neuroscience questions addressable with future studies.

MDMA Is Not Ecstasy: The Production of Pharmaceutical Safety through Documents in Clinical Trials.

TL;DR: This article tracks the production of safety through the inter-connected work of clinical documents, which manage both which bodies are allowed to absorb the drug and which bodily events count as effects, and argues that MDMA's safety emerges from the careful management of relations through these documentary practices.

d-Lysergic acid diethylamide has major potential as a cognitive enhancer

TL;DR: It is shown that a single dose of d-LSD, a potent serotonergic agonist, increased novel object preference in young and adult rats several days after treatment, and a computational model of synaptic connectivity in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex suggests that d- LSD enhances novelty preference by combining local synaptic changes in mnemonic and executive regions, with alterations of long-range synapses.

Antidepressant effects of ketamine in depressed patients

TL;DR: A first placebo-controlled, double-blinded trial to assess the treatment effects of a single dose of an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist in patients with depression suggests a potential role for NMDA receptor-modulating drugs in the treatment of depression.

A Randomized Trial of an N-methyl-D-aspartate Antagonist in Treatment-Resistant Major Depression

TL;DR: Robust and rapid antidepressant effects resulted from a single intravenous dose of an N-methyl-D-aspartate antagonist; onset occurred within 2 hours postinfusion and continued to remain significant for 1 week.
