The main purpose of this study is to determine whether hippocampal synaptic vesicle density estimated by hippocampal \[11C\]APP-311/\[11C\]UCB-J binding in individuals diagnosed with cannabis use disorder (CUDs) improves with at least 4 weeks of confirmed abstinence from cannabis, in comparison to healthy controls (HCs). Furthermore, any change in synaptic vesicle density will be placed in functional context by measuring verbal memory, which is sensitive to hippocampal function, before and after at least 4 weeks of confirmed abstinence. Finally, the relationship between hippocampal \[11C\]UCB-J binding in CUDs with measures of cannabis exposure (e.g., age of initiation, cumulative lifetime dose) will be explored. Read Less

The goal of this observational study is to learn how the brain's information processing changes during and following administration of serotonergic psychedelics (psilocybin, N,N-Dimethyltryptamine/DMT, Lystergic Acid Diethylamide/LSD, etc.) for people with and without mental illness receiving serotonergic psychedelics through any clinical trial at Yale University. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Do serotonergic psychedelics cause the brain to rely on new information more than previously learned information while under the influence? What about 1 day, 5-14 days, and 4-6 weeks after use? 2. Do serotonergic psychedelics cause long-lasting side-effects in how people perceive (see, hear, feel, etc.) the world and how easily people change their beliefs? 3. How does the brain's electrical activity change after using serotonergic psychedelics? How does the balance between excitation and inhibition change while under their effect? 4. Can changes in how the brain uses information predict who will benefit from a psychedelic and who will have side effects from psychedelics? Researchers will compare with people given placebos to see what changes in brain processing are unique to serotonergic psychedelics. Participants will have the opportunity to do some combination of the following: 1. Online computer assessments consisting of games and questionnaires that probe how participants think. 2. Magnetoencephalography (MEG) or electroencephalography (EEG) with eyes closed and with repeated clicks, images, or sensations delivered. 3. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. 4. Semi-structured qualitative interviews about their experience after taking a serotonergic psychedelic recorded via Zoom. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety of the study medicine called PF-08049820 in healthy adults. The study will also see: * how the body processes the study medicine and * if food affects the amount of study medicine in the blood. The study medicine is developed for the treatment of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema. People with this condition may have severe itching and rashes on the skin. The study is seeking participants who: 1. Are males or females who can no longer have children. 2. Are 18 to 65 years old. 3. Have a body mass index (BMI) of 16 to 32 kilograms per meter squared and a total body weight of more than 50 kilograms (110 pounds). For group 3 only: 4. Have 4 biological Japanese grandparents who were born in Japan. The study has 3 groups. In groups 1 and 2, there may be up to four dosing periods. During each dosing period, participants will take a single dose of the study medicine or placebo as liquid by mouth with or without food at the study clinic. A placebo does not have any medicine in it but looks just like the medicine being studied. The participants will stay at the study clinic for about 8 days and then can go home. During this time, the study team will observe the participants and take some urine and blood samples to test the level of the study medicine. The participants will return to the study clinic up to three more times to complete up to four dosing periods separated by at least 2 weeks. The participants will take increasing amounts of study medicine during each dosing period. After completion of the final dosing period, the participants will receive a follow-up telephone call about a month later. Group 3 may or may not be needed and will be decided by the study team if needed to collect results from participants who have 4 biological Japanese grandparents who were born in Japan. If group 3 is needed, then there will only be one dosing period as described above. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to learn about how different amounts of study medicine called PF-06414300 acts and is changed and eliminated from the body of healthy adult participants. The amount of PF-06414300 in blood after the medicine is taken by mouth will also be measured. The study is seeking for participants who: * Are male or female of 18 to 65 years of age. * Are in good health condition. * Have body mass index of 16 to 32 kilograms per squared meters; and a total body weight of more than 50 kilograms (110 pounds). All participants in this study will receive either PF-06414300 or placebo (dummy pill) by chance. The study will have 2 parts; in the first part of the study (Part A), each participant will receive a total of 4 doses of PF-06414300 or placebo with at least 10 to 14 days between each dose. After each dose, participants will stay in study clinic for 4 to 5 days. In the second part of the study (Part B), each participant will receive a total of 10 doses of PF-06414300 or placebo and participants will stay in study clinic for 14 days. An optional Japanese cohort may be done later. The planned duration of participation from screening to follow up in Part A and B of this study is up to 12 to 14 weeks and 10 to 12 weeks, respectively. Participants will also have their blood collected by the study doctors several times. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to longitudinally characterize and evaluate changes in synaptic density in the brain using novel positron-emission tomography (PET) scans; magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and clinical laboratory markers associated with HIV-related injury in the central nervous system. This study will test hypotheses relating to the presence and mechanisms of aberrant brain structure at the synaptic level in living humans with virologically controlled HIV on antiretroviral therapy. To evaluate associations between PET imaging radiotracers \[11C\]UCB-J, a ligand for presynaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A), a vesicle membrane protein expressed in synapses, and PET \[11C\]PBR28 a measure of microglia function in the brain, the Yale PET center has developed an advanced approach of combining multiple distinct ligands in coordinated same-day PET imaging. Additionally, the study will evaluate the associations of this novel synaptic density marker with well-established clinical measures of neurocognitive performance and laboratory measures of blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
