The impact of a psychedelic drug on olfactory search behavior by mice

Using an olfactory search task, we investigated the impact of the psychedelic 2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine (DOI) on olfactory search behavior of mice. We found that DOI decreases search accuracy, alters movement, and increases sniff rate. These findings suggest that the olfactory behaviors are altered by DOI, elucidating psychedelic-induced changes to olfactory processes. preprint:...
