This research study will use computerized tasks, electroencephalography (EEG), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to look at how the drug psilocybin, a naturally occurring compound contained in hundreds of species of psychoactive mushrooms, changes thoughts and brain activity. In this double-blind, placebo-controlled, within-subject, full cross-over study ...
The goal of this pilot, exploratory, clinical trial is to investigate the effects of psilocybin on synaptic vesicular density (SVD) as measured by the positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer, 18F-SynVesT-1, in participants with amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (aMCI) and healthy participants. The investigators hypothesize that SVD levels in the brai...
In this study, participants will received either psilocybin (the active ingredient found in certain mushrooms) or an inactive placebo (a look-alike tablet with no active drug). The psilocybin is supplied by Filament Health (Burnaby, British Columbia). After psilocybin ingestion, the body quickly converts it into psilocin, which is the form that produces the ...
This study will examine the effect of a single high dose of psilocybin therapy (30 mg) versus a very low dose (1 mg) as an adjunctive therapy to individuals undergoing standard-of-care buprenorphine treatment for Opioid use disorder (OUD).
