Therapeutic mechanisms of psilocybin in treatment-resistant depression, and fMRI study .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Therapeutic mechanisms of psilocybin: Changes in amygdala and prefrontal functional connectivity during emotional processing after psilocybin for treatment-resistant depression
J Psychopharmacol. 2020 11-Apr;():. 10.1177/0269881119895520Psilocybin was administered to 19 patients with treatment-resistant depression in a prospective case series. The patients underwent an fMRI scan prior to, and following administration of 10 mg (test day 1) and 25 mg (test day 2) of oral psilocybin. Patients also completed the Beck Depression Inventory and Rumination Response Scale prior to and following psilocybin administration in order to determine any relationships to changes in brain activity and clinical scores of depression or rumination. The study showed decreased ventromedial prefrontal cortex-right amygdala functional connectivity during face processing and was associated with levels of rumination one week following administration. There was also post-treatment increases in functional connectivity between the amygdala and ventromedial prefrontal cortex to occipital-parietal cortices during face processing.
