In a recent publication in British Journal of Pharmacology, Rakoczy, et
al. describe the use of animal tissues and behavioral tests to study the
potential of psychedelic compounds to benefit human mental health.
However, the research warrants additional context regarding the
limitations of these behavioral tests, whether the proposed benefits
outweigh the harms experienced by the animals used, and whether this
study has translational capacity considering its lack of human specimens
