This presentation explores the association between early life stress-induced epigenetic alterations and the development of mental health disorders, alongside the innovative potential of psychedelic therapies. We will discuss results from my lab exploring the integration of neuroimaging data with peripheral epigenetic information, highlighting a crucial approach for deepening our understanding of the peripheral epigenome. We also discuss results from my lab suggesting that the targeted use of psychedelic interventions may decrease symptoms through epigenetic mechanisms. Lastly, we will review future directions of these exciting fields.
