Old Trips, New Destinations: Recent Advances in the Study of Psychoactive Drugs
Faculty Lecturer: Harriet de Wit
Until recently, psychoactive drugs such as THC, MDMA, and LSD were thought to have little value to society. But the last decade has seen a dramatically growing interest in using psychedelic drugs to relieve debilitating psychiatric symptoms and improve quality of life. Join Harriet de Wit to learn how her laboratory’s research on psychoactive drugs and their complex effects on human emotion and perception is raising fundamental questions about our understanding of the human brain.
