Description
We are delighted to invite you to a special Cortex Club panel discussion, “White Rabbit, Open Mind: The Story of Psychedelics”, bringing together leading neuroscientists and clinicians to explore the science, mechanisms and therapeutic potential of psychedelics.
Psychedelics are reshaping our understanding of brain function, perception and mental health, while opening intriguing possibilities for treating psychiatric disorders. But how do these compounds alter neural circuits and cognition? What do we know about their pharmacological mechanisms, and how might these effects translate into lasting therapeutic benefits?
Bringing together perspectives from neural circuit neuroscience, psychopharmacology and clinical psychiatry, this panel will explore the emerging science of psychedelics, the promises and challenges of their clinical applications, and the fundamental questions that remain unanswered. The discussion will be accessible to a broad audience, with opportunities for questions and open debate.
