Abstract
Psychedelic substances may enhance creative task performance, although empirical support for this claim is mixed.
- Psychedelics could have enduring effects on mood and well-being.
- There is currently no neurocognitive framework connecting short-term cognitive changes to long-term mood effects.

- The review links potential improvements in creativity from psychedelics to lasting enhancements in mood.
