          Decoding the Molecular Mechanisms of Psilocybin Mushrooms’ Hallucinogenic Effects

          A new study adds to the growing body of evidence suggesting psilocybin, a hallucinogenic compound found in certain mushroom species, could potentially revolutionize the treatment of depression and substance addiction. Researchers focused on the molecular interactions of psilocybin in the brain. The findings may help with designing new drugs that can treat a range of mental health disorders.

          Harnessing Psilocybin to Treat PTSD

          Psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms, can restore fear extinction and help treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The study found that psilocybin promotes the growth of new neurons and synapses in the hippocampus, a brain region involved in memory formation, and was found to reverse the decline in proteins associated with neuroplasticity and fear extinction. The findings provide a promising potential for using psilocybin in the treatment of PTSD.
