A primer
How does one experience change our response to another days or even months later? Synaptic priming fuses elements of synaptic plasticity with psychopharmacology to provide new answers to this question, and is being used to transform psychiatry. My goal as an economically accessible, nomadic consultant is to use the synaptic priming framework to improve available treatment regimens, refine study designs, and develop novel therapeutics.
