They found RO₅₀ = 0.88 mg/kg.

This detailed protocol is being implemented in multiple trials in our lab, and I'm thrilled to be a part of this exciting research! #Cannabinerds
We’re testing whether low-dose THC given before key Prolonged Exposure sessions can boost fear extinction, engage vmPFC–hippocampal circuits, and improve PTSD outcomes in a randomized, double-blind trial.

Fascinating study, you can also read my Research Highlight on this paper and connectome harmonics here pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40940590/
This recent study finds that DMT reshapes the 🧠’s connectome harmonic repertoire, mirroring effects of psilocybin, LSD & ketamine, with entropy and energy spectrum changes closely tracking the intensity of participants’ subjective experiences 🍄💊

Arutiunian and colleagues found that youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder have altered EEG alpha-band activity(particularly in younger males), which is linked to poorer language skills, more autistic traits, and higher genetic burden from copy number variations.
