Does psilocybin alter the brain's response to food choice and reward?

Not yet recruitingRegisteredANZCTR

Open-label, non-randomised single-group fMRI study (n=10) testing a single oral 20 mg psilocybin dose versus baseline to assess changes in brain response to food choice and reward in healthy adults.

Details

Ten healthy adult participants with prior classic psychedelic experience will undergo an fMRI food-choice task at baseline (~1 week before dosing) and on the day of a single 20 mg oral psilocybin dose to assess acute changes in neural responses to food reward.

During the post-dose scan an in‑scanner gustometer will deliver small (3 ml) low- or high-calorie liquid rewards contingent on choices; onset to scan is ~75 minutes after ingestion and scan duration is ~60 minutes.
