Even as many of us took time off for summer vacations, researchers in the field of psychedelics persisted in their efforts. They delved deeper into understanding the healing properties of these substances. The big psilocybin for depression (MDD) by the non-profit Usona was published, we got new insights into candy flipping (MDMA + psychedelic) from two groups, and the risks of prolonged microdosing.

June was jam-packed with psychedelic research, with (again) adding nearly one paper a day to the database (29 total & 100+ to the May link overview). We got new insights into the mechanisms through which psychedelics work their magic (from new receptors to the long-awaited 'critical learning' paper). Many other clinical results covered everything from DMT for depression to psilocybin's effect on memory.

April was a month marked by nearly a dozen brain imaging studies on the effects of psychedelics. Jumping out from the pack is the highly anticipated extended DMT study which now has data on the psychological and physiological effects. Other studies (of the 20 total this month) investigate psychedelics for stuttering, its impact on narcissism, and our perception of time.
