‼️NEW STUDY FOR HEALTHY VOLUNTEERS‼️ Join our study at Johns Hopkins exploring how psilocybin—a naturally occurring compound in mushrooms—affects brain activity and function. Our study uses safe, noninvasive methods like EEG, fMRI, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and…
That’s a wrap on Psychedelic Science 2025! We had a fantastic time presenting our research and connecting with both new and familiar faces in the field. Grateful for the conversations, collaborations, and inspiration. Excited for what’s ahead! @PsychedelicSci @MAPS @BWe1ss…
Honored to have attended my first conference this past week at #CPDD2025 in New Orleans. Huge thank you to @CeydaSayali and @FredBarrettPhD for the opportunity and mentorship!
Live near Baltimore? I'm recruiting for a TMS/EEG study involving psilocybin. Come be part of cutting-edge neuroscience research!
Join our brain stimulation research study! Researchers at Johns Hopkins are investigating the effects of psilocybin—a psychoactive compound found in mushrooms—on brain activity and function using transcranial magnetic stimulation, EEG, fMRI, and cognitive testing. Scan the QR…
Pleasure to a be a part of this timely review examining the relevance and safety of psychedelic therapy for the treatment of personality pathology. Outstanding work Brennan, @RickZeifman, and team.
CPCR Assistant Professor @BWe1ss and colleagues just published a review examining the clinical utility and relevance of psychedelic therapy for personality disorders (PDs), including safety considerations, gaps and limitations, and recommendations for approaching psychedelic…
Join the world’s premier psychedelic research center! My lab at @JHPsychedelics is hiring 3 Research Program Coordinators. We're looking for talented, hard-working, rigorous emerging scientists to contribute to scientific studies, including psychedelic admin trials. Links:
From entropy measures to serotonin receptors, CPCR Postdoc Nate Heller and Director Fred Barrett (@FredBarrettPhD) offer their takes in Nature Hot Topics, describing how combining well-established neurocognitive tasks, comparative neuropharmacology, and carefully crafted animal…
Preprint alert! We asked: does fMRI-guided targeting improve reliability of early TMS-evoked potentials (TEPs) in non-motor cortical regions like the DLPFC and angular gyrus? #TMS Thank you @CeydaSayali for the opportunity to collaborate! @JHPsychedelics @AaltoUniversity
As fMRI researchers, @FredBarrettPhD and I wanted to explore whether individualized target engagement defined by fMRI matters for TMS/EEG. But this was my first time working with TMS/EEG, and what I discovered was... surprising! 1/10 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…
Dr. Ceyda Sayali (@CeydaSayali) is presenting her research investigating the Neurocognitive Mechanisms of Psychedelics at the CIS & MINDS Fall Seminar today 12:00 – 1:00 EST. In-person in Clark Hall, Room 110 at Johns Hopkins University or virtually on Zoom More info at:…
Thrilled to share a new study in Neuron (@NeuroCellPress) led by CPCR post-doc Dr. Praachi Tiwari (@PraachiTiwari) during her PhD! This study reveals that DOI reduces anxiety through 5-HT2A receptors on the ventral hippocampal inhibitory neurons, marking a key step forward in…
Very happy to finally have THE major chunk of my PhD out! @TIFRScience Grateful to all the coauthors for their amazing contribution to this work. Key highlights of the paper from @ViditaVaidya quoted below. But there are some side nuggets also - summarizing in a thread here:
