The main questions it aims to answer are:\n\nPrimary Objectives\n\n1. Systematically categorize prohedonic effects (antianhedonic effects in patients with anhedonia in depression, increase in well-being in all participants).\n2. Test effects of psilocybin on brain network complexity measures during the hedonic experience using fMRI as a correlate for prohedonic (anti-anhedonic and well-being increasing) effects.\n3. Elucidate relevance of the psychedelic experience to these effects (clinical, behavioral, and imaging) in a pharmacological challenge using the 5-HT2A\u002FD2 antagonist risperidone and extensive characterization of the psychedelic experience. Secondary Objectives 4. Test the differential effects of the psychedelic experience on fMRI paradigms measuring symptoms shown to be altered in anhedonia, more specifically reward processing and sexual arousal. 5. Test the relevance of neuroplasticity (BDNF) and inflammatory parameters to anti-anhedonic, well-being promoting, and brain network dynamic complexity effects. 6. Test the effects of the psychedelic experience on BDNF and inflammatory parameters.\n\nResearchers will compare the effects of psilocybin in two separate sessions (one with psilocybin alone, one with co-administration of risperidone) in both patients with depression and anhedonia and healthy control participants.\n\nParticipants will:\n\n* Take 25 mg of psilocybin p.o. in two sessions, in one of the two sessions they will take 1 mg risperidone p.o. before ingestion of psilocybin, to block psilocybin's acute psychedelic effects.\n* Undergo 3 MRI sessions, one before the first psilocybin session ('baseline') and one session each on the day after each respective psilocybin session.\n* Perform a variety of tasks during each fMRI session to asses the treatment's effects on anhedonia.",[101,102],"Depression - Major Depressive Disorder","Anhedonia",[27,104,105,102,106,37,107,108,109,110,111,33],"Psilocin","Psychedelic","Depression","fMRI","functional MRI","Pharmaco-Imaging","MDD","Serotonin","2026-03-19",{"date":114,"type":115},"2026-03-24","ACTUAL",{"date":117,"type":115},"2025-11-01",{"date":119,"type":95},"2028-05-31",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
