Grant Activity:
Can psychedelics treat anorexia nervosa? Insights into the therapeutic effects of psilocybin in an animal model
Purpose:
Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a debilitating disorder which is currently untreatable. Phase 1 clinical trials of psilocybin are underway in patients with AN, however the biological mechanisms of psilocybin remain inadequately understood. This project, which will inform patient selection to avoid unfavourable effects, utilises the activity-based anorexia rat model combined with sophisticated techniques to furnish an understanding of psilocybin’s actions on weight loss, cognition and brain function.
