The Science Basement Podcast

Welcome back! Feeling a bit of a "déjà vu"? Makes sense, 'cause we ar etalknig about psycedelic drugs! ...again! In this episode Giuliano & Eleanna interview Lauri Elsilä, Doctoral Researcher from the faculty of Medicine UH, trying to figure out how psychedelics might help in treating drug addiction. Lauri Elsilä is a pharmacist and a doctoral researcher at the Department of Pharmacology, at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Helsinki. Currently, he studies the behavioural effects of psychedelic compounds, but is endlessly fascinated by the connection between the brain and behaviour in general, and would love to understand how the minds of different animal species differ.
