The what and why of psychedelics research - Godfrey Pearlson
In the first episode of Season 5 on the Neuroethics of Psychedelics, we speak with Godfrey Pearlson about the science of psychedelics, what these substances are, and why they have become an important focus of research and clinical interest. Professor Pearlson is a Professor of Psychiatry and Neuroscience at Yale University and the founding director of the Olin Neuropsychiatry Research Center at the Institute of Living in Connecticut. He is also the author of The Science of Weed, a widely read book exploring the neuroscience and cultural history of cannabis. In this episode, we discuss what psychedelics are, their effects on the brain, the therapeutic potential of psychedelic-assisted treatments, and ethical questions surrounding their growing role in medicine and society. A special thanks to our host Dr. Lavinia Uscatescu and audio editor Sarah Schultz.
