We are thrilled to announce that our recent preprint, “Trauma Under Psychedelics: MDMA Shows Protective Effects During the Peritraumatic Period,” has been featured in The New York Times! The article highlights our groundbreaking research on the effects of MDMA on trauma survivors, specifically those who endured the horrific Supernova music festival attack. Our findings indicate that MDMA may offer significant protective benefits, including improved social support, enhanced sleep quality, and reduced PTSD symptoms. This recognition underscores the potential of psychedelics in trauma treatment and marks a significant milestone for our lab and the field of cognitive neuroscience. Read the full coverage here.
