Briefings

A 2026 Nature study found that low-dose LSD significantly improved sustained attention in women compared to men, though the study explicitly states this difference requires further investigation. The evidence is limited to a single snapshot from October 2026, and the authors emphasize that more research is needed to confirm these findings.

Key points

• Low-dose LSD significantly improved sustained attention in women compared to men in a 2026 Nature study.
• The study explicitly states that the observed differences require further investigation before generalization.

Context

This research addresses the gender disparity in psychedelic cognitive effects, suggesting women may benefit more from low-dose LSD than men, though the results are preliminary.

Limitations

Evidence is limited to a single snapshot from October 2026, and the study explicitly states that more research is needed to confirm these findings.
