About the Presentations:

5-Methoxy-2-Aminoindane (MEAI) as a Binge Behavior Regulator

Dr. Zuloff-Shani discussed the unique properties of MEAI, a psychoactive aminoindane derivative. MEAI has shown promise in reducing the desire to consume alcoholic beverages while inducing a euphoric, alcohol-like slightly tipsy, but controlled experience. This presentation explored MEAI’s potential as a regulator of binge behaviors, potentially providing a novel approach to addiction treatment.

5-methoxy-2-Aminoindane (MEAI), a Mild Psychedelic Agent, Attenuates Diet-induced Obesity

Dr. Baraghithy presented her research findings on the weight loss effects of MEAI. The study demonstrated that MEAI significantly reduces overweight and adiposity in a diet-induced obesity (DIO) mouse model. The researchers shared compelling evidence that MEAI reduces fat mass, preserves lean mass, improves glucose metabolism, reduces hepatic steatosis and increases energy expenditure, making it a promising therapeutic candidate for obesity management.

Psychedelic Medicine – Israel 2024 provided an interdisciplinary international forum for exchanging ideas, unveiling innovations and training in the basics of psychedelic assisted psychotherapy. The conference encompassed basic, translational and clinical research. A richly varied program included plenary lectures, thematic symposia, poster sessions, workshops and informal salons for discussion and interaction.
