An analogue of the psychedelic drug LSD has been found to offer the same therapeutic effects as LSD but is less likely to ...

The modified LSD, which they named JRT, did just that—and more. It stimulated neurons to sprout new dendritic branches and synapses. This could enable dysfunctional neural circuits to rewire to ...

JRT is identical to LSD within a margin of two atoms, and could solve existing shortages of drugs for use in treating ...

In a model where mice had been stressed to the point of losing ... “No one really wants to give a hallucinogenic molecule like LSD to a patient with schizophrenia. The development of JRT emphasizes ...

To design the drug, dubbed JRT, researchers flipped the position of just two atoms in LSD’s molecular structure. The chemical flip reduced JRT’s hallucinogenic potential while maintaining its ...

While others have made analogs of LSD, the resulting molecules have substantially different molecular skeletons or weights than LSD has. Olson wanted to make an analog that would simply swap the p ...

In a mouse model of chronic stress ... “No one really wants to give a hallucinogenic molecule like LSD to a patient with schizophrenia,” said Olson, who is co-founder and chief innovation ...

University of California Davis scientists have developed a new non-hallucinatory molecule similar to LSD with potential as a treatment option for schizophrenia and neurodegenerative diseases.

To design the drug, dubbed JRT, researchers flipped the position of just two atoms in LSD’s molecular structure. The chemical flip reduced JRT’s hallucinogenic potential while maintaining its ...
