Psilocybin asymmetrically modulates outcome-based choice and cortical processing under uncertainty

This study shows psilocybin enhances choice selection in uncertain contexts by altering cortical processing to prioritize positive information over previous actions.

Divergent Subregional Information Processing in Mouse Prefrontal Cortex During Working Memory

This study examines functional specialization in three mouse prefrontal cortex subregions during a working memory task, revealing distinct activity patterns across task phases.

The classic psychedelic DOI induces a persistent desynchronized state in medial prefrontal cortex

This study shows that the psychedelic DOI induces persistent desynchronization in the medial prefrontal cortex of mice during rest and active states, altering neural activity patterns.

Acute psilocybin enhances cognitive flexibility in rats

This study shows acute psilocybin improves cognitive flexibility in rats by enhancing switching between learned strategies, with effects mediated by 5HT2A receptors.

Early life sleep disruption has long lasting, sex specific effects on later development of sleep in prairie voles

This study investigates how early life sleep disruption affects later sleep patterns in prairie voles, finding sex-specific changes in REM and NREM sleep in adulthood.
