The article discusses a synthetic psychedelic compound, 25C-NBF, that promotes rapid brain cell growth and produces antidepressant-like effects in male rodents with no evident addictive traits. It also examines the compound’s safety profile, neuronal changes, and potential for fast-acting mood improvement.

This topic is of interest to psychology enthusiasts because it highlights how rapid neuroplastic changes can influence mood regulation and behavior, offering insight into mechanisms of depression and the quest for fast-acting treatments.

But with GLP-1s, there can sometimes be too much of a good thing. The drugs can be so effective at blocking #foodnoise and reducing the release of dopamine that they can cause #anhedonia: a reduced ability to feel pleasure."

Off the menu: GLP-1s can help patients lose weight. For some, they also erase the joy of food - The Globe and Mail (Alberta Edition) (2026-04-30)

Right now. I'm firing on all cylinders.

But it's not always been this way.

During my brush with cancer, I experienced a state of anhedonia. This is when you no longer take pleasure in the things you used to find pleasurable.

If you are suffering from anhedonia, please know that this state can be temporary. It was temporary for me.

I don't know what pulled me out of it, or how I got myself out of it. Still, it was temporary.

Ah....the "hope parade" is in "told you so" mode.

We're a long way from fascist-free. Enjoy the win. There's still work to do.

This article examines how genetic risk for anhedonia is linked to distinct patterns of brain activity during reward processing, using polygenic risk scores and fMRI during a monetary incentive delay task. Findings suggest lower activation in reward-related regions during anticipation and feedback phases in those with higher genetic risk.

This piece is of interest to psychology readers because it connects genetic factors with neural mechanisms of motivation and pleasure, illustrating how biology can shape cognitive and affective processes involved in reward.

Shadow opens its black door.Shadow widens without end.Shadow makes no promise of return.The breath leans forward.The bones lean after.The name loosens from the skull.Shadow is the tide with no moon.Shadow is the eclipse that does not lift.Shadow is the gate that does not hinge.The body remembers nothing.The voice unthreads from sound.The heart stops calling itself home.Shadow is where the self goes thin.Shadow is where the map goes blank.Shadow is where the witness ends.No star remains to […]
