Investigating the Effects of Psilocybin on Cognitive Flexibility in Touchscreen and Naturalistic Variations of the Probabilistic Reversal Learning Task

This study examines the acute and post-acute effects of psilocybin and LSD on cognitive flexibility in rats using two probabilistic reversal learning tasks, finding no robust enhancement of reversal learning.

Is poor dose selection undermining the translational validity of antidepressant research involving animal models?

This study examines dose selection in animal models of antidepressants and finds that conventional models often use doses higher than clinical equivalents, potentially leading to irrelevant mechanisms being studied.
