LSD Microdosing Shows Sustained Attention Gains in Women, but Not Men

A pilot study presented at the ECNP annual congress in Munich reveals that low doses of LSD may produce different effects on sustained attention depending on biological sex, with women showing potential cognitive benefits while men did not respond similarly. These preliminary findings contribute to emerging research suggesting that individuals may respond differently to psychedelic microdosing based on various biological and genetic factors. The study highlights the importance of considering sex-based differences in psychedelic research, as previous investigations often overlooked such distinctions. While results are preliminary and require further validation in larger studies, these findings open new avenues for personalized approaches to potential therapeutic applications. Researchers emphasize the need for continued investigation into how gender and other individual factors influence psychedelic compound responses.
