Publisher Corrects Article on Psychedelics' Mechanism
LONDON - A correction was issued to a Nature article published on January 28, 2026, regarding the mechanism by which psychedelics elicit their effects, according to Nature News. The original article, which focused on the role of the 5-HT2A receptor in Gi signaling, contained several typographical errors in the initial publication.
The correction, published online, addressed inaccuracies in the placement of superscript numbers within the article. Specifically, errors were identified in the "Gi-biased signal transduction of 5-HT2AR" section, the "Ligand recognition mechanism of 5-HT2AR" section, and the captions for Extended Data Figs. 5 and 6. The corrected version rectified these errors to ensure the accuracy of the scientific findings.
