Thanks to everyone who braved the pouring rain last night to find each other at the Cai-Tye Collective party!! @denisejcai @tristanshuman 🥰

Proud to present @_apalle (postdoc in my lab aka DJ APL) and @McGriffNeuro (MD/PhD student in my lab aka DJ Psilocientist) who blew everyone’s minds.

And thanks to DJCJ and DJ Crykit, @AndrewHires who I have worked with for years and always deliver dopeness.

Music and vibes were amazing!
If anyone has party footage pls DM me!

Got to share my work on the physiological effects of psilocybin + psilacetin at both #CPDD23 and #PS2023 this week!!! Feeling so inspired and motivated after meeting so many incredible scientists and psychedelic scholars :)

[Shelby McGriff @McGriffNeuro]

@PsychedelicSci @MAPS any way you can increase the volume of the speakers at the Science Stage so that half of the crowd waiting outside of the room can still hear the session???

Presenting my work on a novel psilocybin analog, psilacetin, at #CPDD23 today! Poster M165 from 5-6 pm, come by and say hello if you’re here! :)

Our new case series on menstrual changes associated w/ psychedelic use is out, including a case of inducing menses in someone with amenorrhea. First literature on this since the 1950s. Interesting psychoneuroendocrine and sex difference q’s to be explored https://t.co/9Xce0t9YU2

Take your time to check out the Cognitive Disorder Atlas! A useful tool to understand some clinically relevant relationships between brain structure and focal neuropsychological syndromes

New article out now regarding the pharmacology of #psilocybin analogues including other compounds found in psilocybin-containing mushrooms, their active metabolites, and 4-acetoxy derivatives.

Above all, assume that people are doing the best they can with what they have.

Glad to share our latest work out in @Nature today
We show that human cortical #organoids transplanted into the somatosensory cortex of newborn rats develop mature cell types and integrate into sensory circuits and can influence reward-seeking behavior

currently giggling at how cool this is wow

Scientists from Stanford University have successfully transplanted human brain tissue into the brains of newborn rats 🧠🐀

I’m so happy to say my first publication was published online in Psychopharmacology!

Here we found that phenethylamine analogs being found in dietary supplements contain significant reinforcing effects, indicating the potential for abuse in recreational users.

New paper out of the DDRU from our awesome postbac Shelby 😎

“...dietary supplements containing PEA analogs may have significant abuse liability when used recreationally.”

[Nature Portfolio @NaturePortfolio]

A @Nature paper reports that two LSD-like chemical molecules have antidepressant effects in mice, without psychedelic side effects. The discovery of these molecules could lead to the development of drugs for treating psychiatric disorders in the future. https://t.co/VV7VZdGbXR

And it’s not a character flaw if you don’t have a financial safety net while you’re trying to build a career you have to pay so much up front for. It’s not weak to need time and space to process difficult patient cases. If that’s seen as soft then so be it. It’s a strength.

In 2020, I implored my med school deans to take student suicidality seriously. I was told to focus less on advocacy. I was told students are so spoiled with benefits these days, what do they have to be depressed about. 2 months later the institution lost a student to suicide…

Synthetic compounds have catapulted the United States’ overdose crisis to global distinction. With nearly 108,000 deaths from overdose in 2021, the US now has an overdose mortality rate that’s about 20 times the worldwide average. https://t.co/eruyGdMd1A
