In this episode of At the Back of Your Mind, hosts delve into the current research and therapeutic potential of psychedelics for psychiatric disorders. They discuss the historical use of psychedelic compounds, such as LSD and psilocybin, and their interactions with serotonin receptors. Special guest Tommaso Barba, a PhD student at Imperial College London's Centre for Psychedelic Research, shares his insights on the effects of psychedelics on mental health, while highlighting the importance of controlled and therapeutic use. The conversation also explores the rise in recreational use and the ethical considerations around natural psychedelic resources.

In this episode, we explore the phenomenon of 'mommy brain' - changes in memory and cognition that occur during pregnancy and early parenthood. Our special guest, Dr. Jodi Pawluski, a neuroscientist and author, explains the hormonal and physiological factors contributing to these changes, as well as the societal challenges in maternal mental health research. We delve into historical perspectives, current findings, and the impacts on both mothers and fathers. Dr. Pawluski reassures listeners that experiencing 'mommy brain' is a normal and adaptive part of parenting, highlighting the importance of support systems and individualised care.
