This research develops automated tools to identify psychedelic-inspired compounds that restore lost neural connections associated with depression, anxiety, and addiction. Using advanced imaging and custom analysis software, the project screens potential therapeutics that promote neuronal growth, aiming to create treatments that repair brain circuitry rather than simply managing symptoms.

Mental health disorders disrupt neural connections in the brain, yet most treatments only manage symptoms. This research explores psychedelic-inspired drugs that restore lost brain connections without hallucinogenic effects, using automated imaging tools to identify compounds that rebuild neural structure and offer lasting recovery.
