George R. Mangun, distinguished professor emeritus of psychology, has been named a Royal Society Wolfson Fellow in recognition of his body of research advancing the fields of psychology and neuroscience.
New research shows that the anti-anxiety and hallucinogenic-like effects of a psychedelic drug work through different neural circuits. The study, in a mouse model, shows that it could be possible to separate treatment from hallucinations when developing new drugs based on psychedelics.
