New research suggests that it could be possible to separate treatment from hallucinations when developing new drugs based on psychedelics. The anti-anxiety andhallucination-inducing qualities of psychedelic drugs work through different neural circuits, according to research using a mouse model. The work is published Nov. 15 in Science.

Original Title: Mouse study shows that anti-anxiety and hallucinogenic effects of a psychedelic drug work through different neural circuits. This suggests it may be possible to make psychiatric drugs based on psychedelics, but without hallucinatory side effects.
