GoKawiilLow-dose LSD improved attention and reaction time in women, not men, study finds
Researchers led by Iva Totomanova at Maastricht University reanalyzed data from a trial of 53 healthy adults who took 15-microgram doses of LSD or a placebo four times over two weeks. Among 48 participants, women who received LSD showed longer sustained attention and faster reaction times on cognitive tests than women given placebo, while no such effect appeared in men. The findings were presented on October 12 at the ECNP Congress in Munich.
