Our latest study identifies a specific cell type and receptor essential for psilocybin’s long-lasting neural and behavioral effects 🍄🔬🧠🐁

Led by Ling-Xiao Shao and @ItsClaraLiao

Funded by @NIH @NIMHgov

📄Read in @Nature -

1/12nature.com/articles/s4158… Pyramidal cells in the neocortex are not all the same. There are major PT (pyramidal tract) and IT (intratelencephalic) subtypes. Interestingly, both subtypes express the serotonin 2A receptor 🧬.

What roles do they play for psilocybin’s action?
