Nature Study Reveals Psilocybin's Impact on Brain and Therapeutic Effects
Aug 1, 2024, 02:25 PM
A new study has revealed that psilocybin, commonly known as magic mushrooms, temporarily dissolves the part of the brain responsible for reflection and a sense of self. The longitudinal imaging study, published in Nature, found that psilocybin desynchronizes the human brain, dissolving network connections linked to our sense of space, time, and self. These brain-wide changes were documented before, during, and after a single dose of psilocybin over a period of weeks. The research highlights the potential therapeutic effects of this psychedelic, which could explain its impact on mental health.
