This study shows psilocybin improves cognitive flexibility in mice with specific circuit-level deficits, depending on the cause, and identifies cellular mechanisms underlying its therapeutic effects.

The paper identifies a direct pathway from the primary auditory thalamus to cortical layer 1 interneurons in mice, showing these interneurons receive strong thalamic inputs comparable to excitatory neurons.

The paper investigates how sensory inputs drive activity in superficial cortical interneurons and finds that their response reliability is modulated by behavioral state and neighboring interneuron activity.

This study investigates psilocybin's effects on mouse behavior through a multi-laboratory collaboration, finding robust acute effects but inconsistent persistent effects.
