Psilocin acutely disrupts sleep and affects local but not global sleep homeostasis in laboratory mice

TL;DR: In this article, chronic in vivo electrophysiological recordings were obtained in mice to track sleep-wake architecture and cortical activity after psilocin injection, and it was concluded that psilocalin affects both global vigilance state control and local sleep homeostasis, an effect which may be relevant for its antidepressant efficacy.

A potential role for psilocybin in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder

TL;DR: Although the current evidence is limited, that multiple signals point in directions consistent with treatment potential, alongside the psychological and physiological safety of clinically administered psilocybin, support the expansion of research, both in animal models and in further randomized controlled trials, to properly investigate this potential.

5-HT2A mediated plasticity as a target in major depression: a narrative review connecting the dots from neurobiology to cognition and psychology

TL;DR: It is suggested that BDNF overexpression resulting from mTOR activation mediates both structural and functional plasticity, resulting in connectivity changes among high-level cognitive networks such as the Default Mode Network, finally leading to an increased and long-lasting psychological flexibility.

Stress-mediated hyperactivity and anhedonia resistant to diazepam and fluoxetine in drosophila

TL;DR: This study provides a time-efficient model system for the study of stress-mediated hyperactivity and anhedonia-like state resistant to fluoxetine and diazepam in Drosophila.

A simple practice guide for dose conversion between animals and human.

TL;DR: This review provides basic information about translation of doses between species and estimation of starting dose for clinical trials using allometric scaling and the method of calculation of injection volume for parenteral formulation based on human equivalent dose.

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.
