Continuation of lithium after a diagnosis of chronic kidney disease
ConclusionAfter an initial diagnosis of CKD, patients who are selected by their physicians to continue lithium treatment may not necessarily have an increased risk of developing end‐stage CKD.

Increased thalamic resting ‐state connectivity as a core driver of LSD‐induced hallucinations
ConclusionHallucinogenic drug effects might be provoked by facilitations of cortical excitability via thalamocortical interactions. Our findings have implications for the understanding of the mechanism of action of hallucinogenic drugs and provide further insight into the role of the 5‐HT2A‐receptor in altered states of consciousness.

Light therapy: is it safe for the eyes?
ConclusionResults suggest that light therapy is safe for the eyes in physically healthy, unmedicated persons. The ocular safety of light therapy in persons with preexisting ocular abnormalities or increased photosensitivity warrants further study. However, theoretical considerations do not substantiate stringent ocular safety‐related contraindications for light therapy. (Source: Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica)
