This special broadcast was recorded live at the 2023 Aspen Psychedelic Symposium. “The Neuroscience of Psychedelics” brought Court Wing, Dave Rabin, and Scott Thompson, to the stage, moderated by Nicole Foerster.
Panelists explore how researchers have been exploring the neurobiological mechanisms of psychedelic drugs, the resulting changes in brain activity, and what treating chronic pain with psychedelics looks like.
Panelists include:
Court Wing, founder and CEO of REMAP Therapeutics, dedicated to exploring, innovating and developing the intersection between psychedelics and chronic pain with significant experience in injury recovery, applied neurophysiology, neuromuscular rehabilitation, performance training, and psychedelics; study participant in NYU’s clinical trial of "Psilocybin for Major Depressive Disorder" (March 2020)
Dr. Dave Rabin MD, PhD, a board-certified psychiatrist, neuroscientist, entrepreneur and inventor, who is the co-founder & chief innovation officer at Apollo Neuroscience, focusing on plant and natural medicines and medicine-assisted psychotherapy, specializing in treatment-resistant mental illnesses including depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder
Scott Thompson, PhD, Professor and Director of the Center for Novel Therapeutics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine's Department of Psychiatry, his research is focused on understanding brain plasticity and how psychedelic compounds engage these processes to exert their antidepressant actions
Nicole Foerster (moderator), co-proponent of Initiative 61 and founder of Decriminalize Nature Boulder County; advocate for psilocybin mushrooms as a treatment for cluster headaches; a mental health professional, and a proponent for the full decriminalization of entheogenic plants and fungi
