Developmental exposure to MDMA (ecstasy) in zebrafish embryos reproduces the neurotoxicity adverse outcome 'lower motor activity' described in humans

Marta Barenys et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the developmental neurotoxic effects of MDMA in zebrafish embryos, finding that under specific experimental conditions, adverse neuromotor outcomes associated with MDMA prenatal exposure in humans can be reproduced in the zebrafish model. This opens the door for future mechanistic investigations to better understand the Adverse Outcome Pathway linked to MDMA prenatal exposure.

Combined effects of chlorpyrifos and cyfluthrin on neurobehavior and neurotransmitter levels in larval zebrafish

Wanjun Zhang et al.

Summary: The combined toxic effects and mechanisms of chlorpyrifos and cyfluthrin were studied on larval zebrafish. It was found that the compounds had significant effects on motor activity, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, and neurotransmitter levels. This research provides an experimental basis for assessing the environmental risk of combined exposure to these pesticides.

Detailed Analysis of Zebrafish Larval Behaviour in the Light Dark Challenge Assay Shows That Diel Hatching Time Determines Individual Variation

Sebastian Rock et al.

Summary: Research on stress coping style in animal welfare has gained momentum in recent years. This study analyzed the light dark challenge behavioral assay in zebrafish larvae and found that behavioral responses are robust and can be generalized for the light and dark phases. The hatching time may determine the behavioral phenotype of an individual.

Exposure to permethrin or chlorpyrifos causes differential dose- and time-dependent behavioral effects at early larval stages of an endangered teleost species

Paige C. Mundy et al.

Summary: Research shows that at the lowest concentrations tested, permethrin caused significant increases in distance moved at 72 and 96 hours. Exposure to higher concentrations of chlorpyrifos led to hyperactive behavior with decreased thigmotaxis and increased rotations and freezing events. These findings highlight the potential impact of these pesticides on the behavior of larval delta smelt, an endangered species.

Psychedelic-inspired drug discovery using an engineered biosensor

Chunyang Dong et al.

Summary: The study introduces psychLight, a genetically encoded fluorescent sensor based on the structure of 5-HT2AR, which can detect behaviorally relevant serotonin release and predict the effects of different 5-HT2AR ligands. This new technology identified a non-hallucinogenic psychedelic analog with rapid-onset and long-lasting antidepressant-like effects.

Psychedelics and Other Psychoplastogens for Treating Mental Illness

Maxemiliano V. Vargas et al.

Summary: Psychedelics offer new hope for treating brain disorders due to their sustained therapeutic effects and broad potential, but face challenges in clinical scalability. Research on psychoplastogens provides insight into neural plasticity and offers a new paradigm for addressing the underlying pathophysiology of mental illness. Effectively deploying psychoplastogenic medicines at scale will be a key consideration for future development in the field.

Psilocybin induces rapid and persistent growth of dendritic spines in frontal cortex in vivo

Ling-Xiao Shao et al.

Summary: The study showed that psilocybin can induce rapid and lasting synaptic rewiring in the cortex, increasing spine size and density. This structural change may have potential implications for long-term integration of experiences and lasting beneficial actions.
