Psilocybin Induces New Neural Connections

Landmark study shows one dose of psilocybin induces new neural connections

 

"The researchers show how the psychedelic prompts rapid growth of neural connections in the frontal cortex of mice and hypothesize this mechanism playing a role in the drug’s antidepressant qualities."

Psilocybin Increases Neural Connections

 Psychedelic spurs growth of neural connections lost in depression.

"a single dose of psilocybin given to mice prompted an immediate and long-lasting increase in connections between neuron"
