Abstract
Why do the effects of some psychedelics last 10 hours, while others are over within minutes? Gitte Moos Knudsen is a translational neurobiologist and clinical neurologist with a large track record of research into serotonin 2A receptors. She will speak at ICPR on the reasons for long- or short-acting psychedelics, the future development of possible specific psychedelics, and what this will mean for future research and development.

The Interdisciplinary Conference on Psychedelic Research (ICPR) is Europe’s leading academic conference dedicated to advancing psychedelic research and therapies organised by the OPEN Foundation since 2010. ICPR is a biennial conference focused on high-quality scientific and scholarly research into psychedelics. ICPR 2022 is our fifth event. After our hugely successful online conference in 2020, we are returning to the prestigious Philharmonie Theatre for an in-person event! ICPR will take place in Haarlem (next to Amsterdam) from September 22nd to 24th, 2022.
