Neuropsychedelia by Nicolas Langlitz
An ethnographic and historical examination of the revival of scientific and clinical research into psychedelic drugs since the late 20th century, tracing how researchers, clinicians, and advocates reframed hallucinogens from countercultural substances into respectable tools for neuroscience and psychotherapy. It follows laboratories, regulatory struggles, and the emergence of neuroimaging and receptor pharmacology as legitimizing frameworks, examining how cultural narratives, therapeutic hopes, and scientific practices interact while also critiquing the limits of neurocentric explanations and the ethical, methodological, and translational challenges of reintegrating psychedelics into medicine.
