Appetite for change: How nutritional state and ventral striatal dopamine shape psilocybin effects on cognitive flexibility

Kyna‐Anne Conn, Ngok Wong, Serenay Sunnetci, Abdallah Al Siyabi, Kaspar McCoy, Kaixin Huang, Erika Greaves, Laura K Milton, Levin Kuhlmann, Sarah Maguire, Claire J. Foldi

This study shows psilocybin improves cognitive flexibility in rats under food restriction but not after anorexia exposure, with changes in striatal dopamine signaling.

Toward a genetic signature of resistance to activity-based anorexia in striatal projecting cortical neurons

Kaixin Huang, Murali Aadhitya Magateshvaren Saras, Kyna‐Anne Conn, E. Greaves, Felicia M. Reed, Sonika Tyagi, Hermany Munguba, Claire J. Foldi

The paper identifies transcriptional differences in striatal projecting cortical neurons that distinguish rats susceptible from resistant to activity-based anorexia, linking gene expression patterns to metabolic and neural functions.

Psilocybin prevents activity-based anorexia in female rats by enhancing cognitive flexibility: contributions from 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptor mechanisms.

Kyna‐Anne Conn, Laura K Milton, Kaixin Huang, Hermany Munguba, Janika Ruuska, M. B. Lemus, Erin Greaves, Jihane Homman‐Ludiye, Brian J. Oldfield, Claire J. Foldi

This study shows psilocybin improves cognitive flexibility and body weight in female rats with activity-based anorexia, mediated by 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptor mechanisms.
