Psychedelics reopen the social reward learning critical period
Here we demonstrate in mice that the ability to reopen the social reward learning critical period is a shared property across psychedelic drugs.
Notably, the time course of critical period reopening is proportional to the duration of acute subjective effects reported in humans. Furthermore, the ability to reinstate social reward learning in adulthood is paralleled by metaplastic restoration of oxytocin-mediated long-term depression in the nucleus accumbens.
