Study Summary

The proposed pilot study will assess whether ingestion of a classic hallucinogen (psilocybin) leads to changes in emotion processing and neural circuitry that may predict repeated self-administration of this drug and underlie an atypical mechanism of abuse liability, which may vitally contribute to the understanding of the potential for abuse and the underlying mechanisms supporting abuse of classic hallucinogens.

Primary Outcome

Blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) percent signal change in response to stimuli in the emotion recognition task was measured in the left and right amygdala.
