Psilocybin microdosers demonstrate greater observed improvements in mood and mental health at one month relative to non-microdosing controls
In this large citizen science study (not blinded or placebo-controlled) with 953 microdosers who were microdosing with natural Psilocybin, Microdosing was correlated with improved mood as well as improved performance on a tapping task for 50+ years old . This shows potential promise for using microdosing in older populations and an important avenue for future research.

Exploring the effect of microdosing psychedelics on creativity in an open-label natural setting
38 subjects were given problems solving tasks before and after microdosing (some subjects did not complete all tasks). Authors found convergent thinking, which requires identification of a single solution to a well-defined problem, and divergent thinking, which requires the collection of many possible solutions to a loosely defined problem, improved after microdosing. Subjects were not blinded, meaning they knew they were microdosing and there was no control group that didn't microdose.

Microdosing with psilocybin mushrooms: a double-blind placebo-controlled study
This double-blind placebo-controlled microdosing natural psilocybin study of 34 individuals found a reduction in slow theta brain wave power in microdosers. This is similar to what is seen in the brains of experienced meditators. This is strong evidence of microdosing having an effect on the brain. There were also subjective reports of mood improvement. Many of the participants broke blind which is why microdosing should not be considered sub-perceptual but sub-hallucinogenic. In the specific tests performed by the healthy population, there were no differences between microdosers and not.

Adults who microdose psychedelics report health related motivations and lower levels of anxiety and depression compared to non-microdosers
In this large citizen science study (not blinded or placebo-controlled) with 953 microdosers who were microdosing with natural Psilocybin, Microdosing was correlated with improved mood as well as improved performance on a tapping task for 50+ years old . This shows potential promise for using microdosing in older populations and an important avenue for future research.

A systematic study of microdosing psychedelics
This study had 98 participantes. 96% were microdosing with 5ht2a agonists (LSD or psilocybin) using online questionnaires for 6 weeks. Authors found that on days of microdosing people reported an increase in Focus, wellness, productivity, happiness and more. After 6 weeks there was a reduction in reported levels of depression, stress and distractibility.
In a follow up study with 263 people completing online questionnaires about their expected results of microdosing, people's beliefs about what was most likely to change were unrelated to the observed pattern of reported outcomes. Subjects were not blinded, meaning they knew they were microdosing and there was no control group that didn't microdose.

Chronic, Intermittent Microdoses of the Psychedelic N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) Produce Positive Effects on Mood and Anxiety in Rodents
11 rats were microdosed with a 5ht2a agonist (DMT) while 12 rats were not. The authors found that microdosing DMT with a protocol of 1 day on 2 days off produced an antidepressant-like behaviour and lowered rats fear reaction without impacting working memory or social interaction. They also found that the male rats gained weight.

The therapeutic potential of microdosing psychedelics in depression
This paper reviewed 14 other studies of microdosing with 5ht2a agonists (LSD or psilocybin). With regard to safety, it was demonstrated that low doses are well tolerated in healthy volunteers and that subtle positive effects were found. The authors reviewed a study with OCD patients showing symptom reduction after treatment with a low dose of psilocybin. The authors concluded that there is not enough data regarding microdosing and and depression but the subtle positive effects on a healthy population make it worthy to explore.

A low dose of lysergic acid diethylamide decreases pain perception in healthy volunteers
This study was a placebo controlled study microdosing 5ht2a agonist (LSD) that tested if subjects pain tolerance was affected. The authors found that pain was reduced 1.5 and 5 hours after microdosing. Under these testing conditions, which tested people's pain tolerance, the authors found that the microdosing group also had slightly elevated mean blood pressure within the normal range and slightly increased ratings of dissociation, anxiety and somatization.

Self-blinding citizen science to explore psychedelic microdosing
191 subjects filled in online questionnaires for 4 weeks while microdosing with 5ht2a agonists (LSD or Psilocybin) or while being on a placebo that they prepared themselves. The microdosing group's emotional state and anxiety did improve more than the non-microdosing group however when taking into account people's belief if they were microdosing or not the improvement didn't reach statistical significance.
For the improvement to show true between-group difference the authors calculated they would have to test between 366 subjects to see the improvement in cognitive performance and 1508 people to see differences in well-being. The authors also explain the limitation of the study in which the substances were not tested and the subjects had a relatively high baseline which would make it harder to see large improvements.

Positive expectations predict improved mental-health outcomes linked to psychedelic microdosing
81 participants microdosing for 4 weeks completed online questionnaires. 92% of them were microdosing on 5ht2a agonists (such as LSD, Psilocybin, DMT). Results revealed increased self-reported well-being and reductions in anxiety and depressive symptoms. Subjects' expectations when starting the experiment was correlated to improvements in well-being. Subjects were not blinded, meaning they knew they were microdosing and there was no control group that didn't microdose.

Low doses of LSD reduce broadband oscillatory power and modulate event‑related potentials in healthy adults
This paper examined 22 people in a double blind placebo controlled trial giving them small doses of LSD or a placebo. The research found dose dependent changes in their brain waves while on LSD compared to placebo as well as positive changes in their moods. People also made less mistakes on the specific task tested in the research while on LSD. While LSD is not Psilocybin both molecules activate the same 5ht2a receptor and have similar effects although LSD acute effects last for a longer time.
