An insightful essay/post about how distinct drug compounds can act on the same receptor to trigger very different effects as mediated by different signaling pathways. Much like the post’s author (Aaran Vijay), I am very intrigued by the question of why these different signaling pathways lead to different effects and how understanding the pathways could reveal even better ways to treat psychiatric diseases.

Can we use psychedelics to decode the biology of psychiatric medicine.
