We are proud to announce the publication of our latest study, “Trauma under psychedelics: how psychoactive substances impact trauma processing”, in World Psychiatry, one of the leading journals in mental health research.

Led by PhD student Ophir Netzer, the research follows the October 7, 2023 Nova Festival attack, where many survivors experienced acute trauma while under the influence of substances like MDMA, hallucinogens, cannabis, and alcohol. This rare and tragic context offered an urgent opportunity to explore how the psychoactive substances shaped early trauma responses.
