# Psychedelics reopening windows of development in mice

## TL;DR

This study shows that psychedelic drugs can reopen a developmental window in mice, with effects linked to how long the drugs' subjective effects last in humans.

## Contribution

The study reveals a shared mechanism across psychedelics that correlates subjective effects in humans with developmental changes in mice.

## Key findings

- Psychedelics can reopen a critical developmental period in mice.
- The effect duration correlates with the subjective effects' duration in humans.

## Abstract

A new study in Nature shows psychedelics’ ability to reopen a critical period of development in mice. This shared property across psychedelic drugs was proportional to the duration of acute subjective effects of the drugs in humans.
