TLDR:
A team of researchers led by Prof. Vidita Vaidya from TIFR Mumbai, in collaboration with research groups from Cornell, Columbia, and Yale University mapped the precise part of the brain, and the specific class of neurons within this brain region, that drives the decrease in anxiety caused by acute treatment with the psychedelic DOI.
Where’s the fun in that?
Stop taking the joy out of life, please!
A team of researchers identified mechanisms but utterly failed to see the point.
Talk about a buzz kill!
This is huge, will almost certainly lead to better quality treatment options.
