LSD

LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) is a classic serotonergic psychedelic, synthesized by Albert Hofmann in 1938, that acts mainly on 5-HT2A receptors. ICEERS gathers here content where LSD is examined alongside other classic psychedelics such as psilocybin and ayahuasca, in fields including the treatment of anxiety, depression and substance use disorders in cancer patients, microdosing and placebo, emotion recognition, and the neurobiological mechanisms underlying altered states of consciousness.
