Researchers at UC San Francisco and @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social focused on #psilocybin, found in “magic” mushrooms. The drug increased diverse patterns of brain activity, and a single dose affected brain activity and possibly structure for up to a month.

Mental health research: A single dose of psilocybin, the psychedelic substance in magic mushrooms, can produce physical changes in the brain that last for weeks.Researchers found that a single dose of psilocybin produced changes in brain activity and possibly brain structure that lasted up to a month. Participants who experienced the largest increase in flexible brain activity reported more improvements to their well-being."Psilocybin seems to loosen up stereotyped patterns of brain activity and give people the ability to revise entrenched patterns of thought. ... The fact that these changes track with insight and improved well-being is especially exciting." —Taylor Lyons, PhD, Imperial College LondonWhat’s Next? The findings from this study could help clinicians improve psilocybin therapies for mental health conditions, for example by identifying an ideal dose that produces a sufficient increase in meaningful insight without having too intense of a psychedelic experience.

Can a psychedelic help prevent chemo-induced nerve pain? 🧠 New research finds psilocybin protects sensory nerves by preserving energy delivery in preclinical models, www.news-medical.net/news/2026090... #Psilocybin #Neuroprotection #Cancer

First #humantrial of #psilocin since the 1960s reveals better tolerability than #psilocybin

Mice given #psilocybin before platinum-based chemo avoided neuropathy (burning/numbness in hands/feet) that affects up to 60% of such patients. Two pre-treatment doses fully prevented it. Mouse study only — human relevance unconfirmed.
