Featuring Dr. Robin Carhart-Harris, Ralph Metzner Distinguished Professor in Neurology, Psychiatry, and Behavioral Sciences at the University of California, San Francisco, in conversation with Jon Hamilton, correspondent for NPR’s Science Desk. A leading researcher on how psychedelics affect the brain and their potential as groundbreaking treatments for mental health disorders, Dr. Carhart-Harris explores the mechanisms behind psychedelic compounds such as LSD, psilocybin, MDMA, and DMT, sharing insights from his brain imaging studies and clinical trials. He also explores how these substances alter brain function, promote neural plasticity, and may offer new hope for conditions like depression, PTSD, and addiction. Presented as part of the Murdock Mind, Body, Spirit Series in collaboration with Aspen Public Radio.
