Course Description
The Science of Psychedelics, instructed by psychiatrist David Nutt, offers an evidence-based exploration into the world of psychedelic substances and their impact on the human brain. The two-hour course delves into the historical significance of psychedelics, from their role in ancient cultures to their controversial status in modern society.
It addresses why governments have stigmatized and banned these substances despite a lack of evidence proving them to be dangerous. The course also scrutinizes the potential of psychedelics in treating various ailments such as alcoholism and depression, challenging the conventional wisdom and encouraging reevaluation of these misunderstood substances.
The two-part course structure allows for a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter. The first part focuses on the neurobiological effects of psychedelics, presenting the latest research on how these substances interact with the brain. The second part shifts the lens to policy and treatment, discussing the risks and benefits of incorporating psychedelics into medical practice. Throughout the course, students can engage with in-video quizzes, suggested readings, discussion boards, and an end-of-course assessment to consolidate their learning and stimulate deeper inquiry into the topic.
