Comments

Hi,

Found this resource that may be helpful.

https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/the-british-journal-of-psychiatry/article/implications-for-psychedelicassisted-psychotherapy-functional-magnetic-resonance-imaging-study-with-psilocybin/65960EEBE9984AF5CD24F4E42449FACC

Also think it makes a really interesting point about assisting psychotherapy, which could be interesting to discuss if you have a history or applications section in your chapter.

Comments: References

Hello,

Content is look great so far. Don't forget to check your references, you will need to italised the journal articles name. Check APA guideline to be sure. It is something that can easily be missed since wikiversity does not automatically italicised the section for you.

Heading casing

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings (or sentence casing). For example, use: ==Cats and dogs== rather than ==Cats and Dogs== -- Jtneill - Talk - c 06:06, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi,

This is a really cool topic. Have you looked into the differences between organic psychedelics and synthetic psychedelics and what affect the two different types have on emotion? is one better than the other? Here is a link for an overview of synthetic psychedelics and their affects on the body. https://deserthopetreatment.com/synthetic-drugs/hallucinogens/ --JaydenG3 (discuss • contribs) 10:32, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

Hey, I think you'll find this useful.

Long-term use of psychedelic drugs is associated with differences in brain structure and personality in humans: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0924977X15000097

Good luck!

Note that marks are based on what was available before the due date, whereas the comments may also be based on all material available at time of providing this feedback.

Title and sub-title Excellent User page Created, with description about self and link to book chapter Used effectively Social contribution Several are well summarised Add direct links to evidence. To do this: View the page history, select the version of the page before and after your contributions, click "compare selected revisions", and then use this website address as a direct link to evidence for listing on your user page. For more info, see Making and summarising social contributions. Section headings Well developed 2-level heading structure, with meaningful headings that directly relate to the core topic. Overview should have no sub-sections Perhaps consider short- and long-term effects Perhaps consider positive and negative effects It is not clear in the current plan what the emotional effects of PD are? e.g., expand Conclusion Key points Key points are well developed for each section, with relevant citations. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles. Consider including more examples/case studies. Consider embedding one quiz question per major section rather than having one longer quiz towards the end. Image Provided, with an APA style caption Provided, with caption - but use APA style Consider increasing image size from default Consider enhancing figure captions to help connect the image more strongly to key points being made in the text Cite each figure at least once in the main text. References Good. For full APA style: Use correct capitalisation Use correct italicisation Use the new recommended format for dois - http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2014/07/how-to-use-the-new-doi-format-in-apa-style.html Do not include issue numbers for journals which are continuously numbered within a volume Resources See also Very good, but: Be more selective Include several of these instead in the main body, for the first mention of each term External links Add more detail

Suggested structure

Hi,

I noticed that there is currently limited research on how emotion is affected by psychedelics. So a good way to discuss the effects on emotion would be to indirectly discuss them by discussing their effects on condition that effect mood an emotion. For example Idell et al., (2017) proposed that "psilocybin can alleviate deleterious changes in the brain caused by chronic stress leading to restoration of homeostatic brain fibrinolytic capacity leading to euthymia." This touches on how increases in BDNF levels increase in the hippocampus can decrease the stress hormone level of those with depression. You could talk about how this decrease in stress hormone expression would impact the emotional experience of those with depression. Similarly Patra, (2016) discusses psilocybin can be used to treat those with treatment resistant depression, you may be able to discuss how the removal of depression will effect them emotionally.

Patra, S. (2016). Return of the psychedelics: Psilocybin for treatment resistant depression. Asian Journal Of Psychiatry, 24, 51-52. doi: 10.1016/j.ajp.2016.08.010

Idell, R., Florova, G., Komissarov, A., Shetty, S., Girard, R., & Idell, S. (2017). The fibrinolytic system: A new target for treatment of depression with psychedelics. Medical Hypotheses, 100, 46-53. doi: 10.1016/j.mehy.2017.01.013

Hope this helps,

Hi,

Awesome work so far. Know that it's getting late, but thought an interesting thing that you may want to include may be how culture shapes the experience of psychodelics.

Chapter review and feedback

This chapter has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Chapter marks will be available later via UCLearn Canvas, along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall Overall, this is an excellent chapter that successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem. Overview - consider building on the sub-title by presenting focus questions to help guide the reader and the chapter structure. For additional feedback, see following comments and these copyedits. Theory Relevant theories are well selected, described, and explained. Research Relevant research is well reviewed and discussed in relation to theory. Excellent emphasis on major reviews, meta-analyses, and experimental studies. Critical perspective evident. Written expression Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is very good. Use third person perspective rather than first person (e.g., "we") or second person (e.g., "you") perspective[1]. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences. Layout The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections. The Overview should not have sub-sections (now fixed). Sections which include sub-sections should also include an introductory paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings. Learning features Excellent/ use of embedded interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Excellent use of embedded links to related book chapters. Use in-text interwiki links, rather than external links. Good use of images. No use of tables. A table could be a good way to summary features of different psychedelics. No use of feature boxes. Excellent use of quizzes. Very good use of examples. Grammar The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the tags). Use serial commas[2] - it is part of APA style and generally recommended by grammaticists. APA style Numbers under 10 should be written in words (e.g., five); numbers 10 and over should be written in numerals (e.g., 10). Direct quotes need page numbers. Figures and tables Use APA style to refer to each Table and each Figure (e.g., do not use italics, check and correct capitalisation). Refer to each Table and Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1). Citations are not in full APA style. For example: A serial comma is needed before "&" or "and" for citations involving three or more authors. Use ampersand (&) inside brackets and "and" outside brackets. In-text citations should be in alphabetical order. References are not in full APA style. For example: See new doi format. Social contribution ~15 logged, useful, social contributions with direct links to evidence

Multimedia feedback

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's Canvas site. Written feedback is provided below, plus see the general feedback page. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below. If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.

Overall Overall, this is a basic presentation. The main areas for improvement are including an Overview and Conclusion within the time frame and re-recording the narration so that it flows more smoothly. The presentation is over the maximum time limit - content beyond 3 mins is ignored for marking purposes. This presentation makes effective use of simple tools. Structure and content Narrate the Title slide, to help the viewer understanding the focus and goal of the presentation. Too much content is presented. The presentation runs over time. The presentation could be strengthened by adding a Conclusion slide with practical, take-home messages. Communication The narration could be practiced more and re-recorded, so that if flows more smoothly. Some of the font size should be larger to make it easier to read. The presentation makes basic use of text and image based slides with narrated audio. The visual communication is supplemented by some images. Production quality Communicate the chapter title and sub-title in both the video title and on the opening slide - this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. Audio recording quality was OK. Visual display quality was basic. Image sources and their copyright status are not provided. Either acknowledge the image sources and their licenses in the video description or remove the presentation. A copyright license for the presentation is not provided. A link to the book chapter is provided. A link from the book chapter is provided. A written description of the presentation is provided.
