Implications for psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy: Functional magnetic resonance imaging study with psilocybin
This course page summarizes a 2012 research article on how psilocybin affected autobiographical memory recall in healthy participants. It covers the study design, key findings, and implications for psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.
Course Overview
This course page presents a research summary of a functional magnetic resonance imaging study examining psilocybin and autobiographical memory recall. The article compares subjective and neural responses to positive personal memories under psilocybin and placebo in healthy participants. The content is relevant to readers interested in the evidence base for psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, especially the potential role of psilocybin in facilitating memory access, emotional insight, and changes in visual imagery during recollection. The page is structured as a research article summary rather than a multi-module training program. It is most suitable for clinicians, researchers, students, and others seeking an overview of the study’s methods and findings.
Who is this for?
Clinicians, researchers, students, and readers interested in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and psilocybin research.
