Taking apart lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) piece by piece has revealed an arsenal of new therapeutic compounds. Researchers at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis), disassembled LSD’s ...

In this illustration, the chemical structure of LSD — represented by a rainbow — is being deconstructed into simplified analogues, which are portrayed as individual colors. University of California, ...

University of California, Davis researchers have developed a new, neuroplasticity-promoting drug closely related to LSD that harnesses the psychedelic's therapeutic power with reduced hallucinogenic ...

LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide), also called “acid,” is a type of synthetic and mind-altering substance (psychedelic). This belongs to a class of drugs called hallucinogens. When you take LSD, even ...

University of California, Davis researchers have stripped down LSD to the base features responsible for its hallucinogenic and therapeutic effects. In a study published in Proceedings of the National ...
