Opinion: The neurobiology of psychedelic drugs: implications for the treatment of mood disordersNature Reviews Neuroscience 11, 642-651 (September 2010)Franz X. Vollenweider & Michael Kometer
Abstracte clinical potential of psychedelics in the treatment of various psychiatric disorders. 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. These findings raise the possibility that research into psychedelics might identify novel therapeutic mechanisms and approaches that are based on glutamate-driven neuroplasticity.
