A team of researchers at the University of California, Davis, made small tweaks to the molecular structure of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) to see if it could be turned into an effective brain ...

JRT has the same molecular weight and general shape as LSD. But that small atomic switch made it behave very differently. It became highly selective for the 5-HT2A receptor—the key site for ...

The researchers managed to do this by altering the position of just two atoms in LSD’s molecular structure. This small shift produced major changes, and the researchers have begun calling the ...

To design the drug, dubbed JRT, researchers flipped the position of just two atoms in LSD’s molecular structure. The chemical flip reduced JRT’s hallucinogenic potential while maintaining its ...

UC Davis researchers developed JRT, a modified version of LSD that promotes neuroplasticity without hallucinogenic effects. Tested in mice, JRT enhanced brain connectivity, showed antidepressant ...

To design the molecule (+)-JRT the researchers flipped the position of just two atoms in LSD’s molecular structure. The chemical flip reduced JRT’s hallucinogenic potential while maintaining ...

A team of researchers at the University of California, Davis, made small tweaks to the molecular structure of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) to see if it could be turned into an effective ...

The researchers focused on the chemical structure of LSD itself. Prior studies have suggested that certain parts of the LSD molecule are responsible for triggering hallucinations – specifically, a ...
