📢New lab paper! Ayahuasca (#DMT, #psychedelics) facilitates fear memory extinction in male and female rats via infralimbic cortex & serotonin 1A and 2A receptors. Kudos to @Isabeus_, and thanks @BrJPharmacol, for the support!

@PsyPost We greatly appreciate the dissemination of our most recent work on ayahuasca (DMT) as a fear extinction facilitator @Isabeus_@FarmacoUFSC

Como a ayahuasca ajuda a extinguir memórias aversivas? Neste infográfico resumimos os resultados de nosso artigo científico mais recente. Abaixo, o link temporário para acesso gratuito ao PDF desse trabalho. @Isabeus_@FarmacoUFSC@UFSC#psychedelics

🆕Lab study shows that ayahuasca enhances fear extinction, including under stress-induced deficits, and reduces fear generalization; cortical BDNF-TrkB signaling contributes to these effects @Isabeus_@fmrpusp@FarmacoUFSC@UFSC@ecnptweets#psychedelics

Isabel Werle from our lab has been awarded the IBRO travel grant to attend the Brazilian Society for Neuroscience and Behavior (@SBNeC) Congress, which will be held from September 8–12 in Águas de Lindóia, SP. Congratulations on your achievement, @Isabeus_! @FarmacoUFSC
Check out our new paper in which we review what is currently known on how psychedelics acutely and post-acutely modulate fear conditioning, extinction learning, episodic memory, and semantic memory and how such effects may speak to treatment of PTSD.

🌟Review Alert! Excited to share our latest article, where we explore the effects of serotonergic #psychedelics and related substances (e.g., MDMA) on extinguishing and reconsolidating aversive memories, expressing fear/anxiety, and locomotion in rodents.

🥇Isabel Werle @Isabeus_ , doutoranda no @bertogliolab, conquistou o prêmio de melhor pôster no Congresso da IBNS@IBNSconnect na categoria pós-graduando. Parabéns por mais essa conquista, Isabel! Agradecimentos à @IBROorg, @farmacoufsc, @ufsc e @CNPq_Oficial pelo apoio!
Thrilled to have had the opportunity to participate in my first @IBNSconnect meeting, where I learned from amazing people. Grateful to have won the Best Poster Presentation award for sharing my research. Thanks, @IBROorg for the travel award that made my participation possible!
We need robust behavioral assays for #psychedelic drug development.
In this new study, @Sam_C_Woodburn systematically determined psilocybin’s effect on fear extinction as a function of dose, timing of administration, and serotonin receptors 🍄🐁

Ayahuasca was found to speed up the extinction of fear memories in rats by affecting serotonin receptors in the brain. This effect, consistent across new and old memories, points to potential therapeutic uses for anxiety and trauma-related conditions. https://t.co/Mnmhs8eXo8
