Creating hallucination-free, psychedelic-like molecules by shining light on life's basic building blocksDavis CA (SPX) Jan 08, 2026 UC Davis researchers have developed a new method that uses light to transform amino acids - the building blocks of proteins - into molecules that are similar in structure to psychedelics and mimic their interaction with the brain. Like psychedelics, these molecules activate the brain's serotonin 5-HT2A receptors, which promote cortical neuron growth, and could be candidates to treat a host of br
