Nature.com: Your brain on shrooms — how psilocybin resets neural networks

The article "Your brain on shrooms — how psilocybin resets neural networks" explores how psilocybin, the active compound in magic mushrooms, affects the brain. A study involving brain imaging of seven volunteers showed that psilocybin disrupts the normal synchronization of neuron networks, particularly in the default mode network associated with self and time perception. While most changes reverted after the drug wore off, a significant alteration in brain connectivity persisted for weeks. This research may illuminate the mechanisms behind psilocybin's therapeutic potential for conditions like depression and PTSD.
