In animal and cellular models, LSD shifted brain transcription away from aging signatures.

Lysergic Acid Diethylamide Induces Transcriptional Changes Opposing Signatures of Brain Ageing and Neurodegeneration
Key Takeaways
  • LSD exposure was found to change brain transcriptional patterns.
  • Those changes opposed molecular signatures linked to neurodegeneration.
  • Human causality is unproven and translational relevance has not been shown.
