    Journal:  Psychedelics as a treatment for disorders of consciousness. (Pubmed Central) -  Apr 27, 2019   
    Based on its ability to increase brain complexity, a seemingly reliable index of conscious level, we propose testing the capacity of the classic psychedelic, psilocybin, to increase conscious awareness in patients with disorders of consciousness. We also confront the considerable ethical and practical challenges this proposal must address, if this hypothesis is to be directly assessed.

    Journal:  Enzymatic synthesis of psilocybin. (Pubmed Central) -  Apr 5, 2019   
    In a combined PsiD/PsiK/PsiM reaction, psilocybin was synthesized enzymatically in a step-economic route from 4-hydroxy-l-tryptophan. Given the renewed pharmaceutical interest in psilocybin, our results may lay the foundation for its biotechnological production.

    Journal:  Advances and challenges in neuroimaging studies on the effects of serotonergic hallucinogens: Contributions of the resting brain. (Pubmed Central) -  Mar 30, 2019   
    ...In previous studies, similarities were observed between psilocybin, LSD, and ayahuasca, with respect to decreases in cerebral blood flow and increases in global functional connectivity in the precuneus and thalamus...Little convergence was observed for connectivity between networks and for blood flow in other brain regions. Although these studies are limited by small sample sizes and might be biased by unspecific drug effects on physiological parameters and the vascular system, current results indicate that neuroimaging could be a useful tool to elucidate the neuronal correlates of hallucinogenic effects.

    Journal:  Modeling Retention Behavior on Analysis of Hallucinogenic Mushrooms Using Hydrophilic Interaction Liquid Chromatography. (Pubmed Central) -  Mar 23, 2019   
    ...An extract of a truffle-like fungus containing psilocin, psilocybin and baeocystin was chosen as test material...It was found the best modeling was obtained by using the quadratic approach to predict chromatograms for predefined chromatographic conditions (volumetric ratio of acetonitrile to buffer, pH of the buffer and temperature), while the exponential model proved to be the worst for prediction. The modeling with multivariate data analysis fell between the other two methods.
