Healthy aging and psychedelics

Caption

 A new first-of-its-kind study at UC Berkeley is investigating whether psychedelics can help promote healthy aging. In the study, researchers use functional MRI, paired with other mental assessments, to measure the brain activity of older adults before and after a psychedelic experience. In this re-enactment, Dr. Alia Lilienstein counsels a participant at the research lab in Berkeley.
