Presenter: Robin Carhart-Harris, PhD
Discussant: Robert Ostroff, MD
This talk takes a multi-level approach to the question of how psychedelics work in the brain. Key themes include: the pharmacology of classic serotonergic psychedelics, what this tells us about the current, developmental and evolutionary function of serotonin 2A receptor signaling (inc. how the ego may have developed), the acute brain effects of psychedelics (e.g., in relation to ego-dissolution) as determined by functional brain imaging, current evidence for psychedelic therapy, the ‘REBUS’ model of the action of psychedelics, and how this maps on to the phenomenology of the acute psychedelic experience and therapeutic outcomes. The talk will end with a focus on a recent double-blind RCT comparing psilocybin therapy with an established antidepressant drug in the treatment of depression.
