Excited to read this preprint by @YiZuoUCSC, using 2p imaging to track spines following psilocybin.
Many similarities with our findings. The new study crucially also tested dose dependence and dived deep into spine characteristics like clustering.

Very cool structural biology and molecular pharmacology study on psychedelic mechanisms of action.
But, I cringe at references to hallucinations in mice, even with qualifiers about limitations of animal models. We need to be more precise in our descriptions of animal behavior!

🚨 The NO TRIP mushroom for depression
We finally know how psychedelics cause hallucinations vs. therapeutic effects at the 5-HT2A receptor.
Gi signaling drives the trip, Gq drives the relief.
And they just designed a non-hallucinogenic analog to prove it 🧵

The sleeping brain influences the waking mind.
This was a fun one. A brief one-stop shop to sleep theory, measurement, and interpretation, with a focus on the EEG and its relevance to psychiatric research.
Hope it's useful!
@BrownPsychiatry @BradleyHospital
Check out our 🆕 Primer which walks through the neuroscience of sleep, how sleep is measured, key EEG features, and why it's important to assess sleep dysregulation in psychiatric care and research.

Our new Deep Dive covers a study by @Auerbach_Lab_CU @DPagliaccio @CarterFunkhous1 & colleagues, which linked EEG-based brain connectivity patterns with emotional expression from text messages to identify neural markers of depressive symptoms in teens

Recapping the #ACNP2026 study group, “Centering Lived Experience in Psychiatric Neuroscience Research”
We asked the panelists, what could NIH leadership do to be more supportive of trainees with non-traditional career paths, which is common among researchers with lived experience of mental illness?

Our latest Deep Dive covers a study that developed a deep learning model to classify sleep stages from single channel EEG recordings in rats🐀. It predicted key parameters of sleep architecture, reducing the need for labor-intensive manual annotation.

Recent US data shows overdose deaths involving both synthetic opioids & stimulants rose from 2018 until 2023, then declined sharply in 2024, driven by decreases in opioid-involved deaths. Despite recent declines, polydrug overdose mortality remains high

Thinking about whether you should promote your next research paper on X, Bluesky, or *Reddit*?
Stop by @brittonrae5’s poster #1 tonight at #ACNP2026 to learn about how these 3 platforms differ in terms of engagement and online attention driven by posts about DPN articles.
