Effects of LSD on Neuroplasticity in Healthy Individuals

Descrizione riassuntiva dello studio

We want to investigate in this study whether treatment with LSD increases the neuroplasticity of the brain. Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to form new connections and reorganize in response to new events. The results could be very important for the clinical development of new treatments for mental disorders. All healthy individuals can participate in the study if they meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Participation in the study involves a total of 8 laboratory visits, spread over at least 6 weeks. On two different dates, you will receive a dose of LSD ranging from 0 to 0.1 mg (100 micrograms). It will be randomly determined which dose you receive on which date. Neither you nor the study staff will know when you receive which dose (the study will therefore be conducted as
