The Effects of Psilocybin on the Brain

A study conducted in Australia examined the effects of psilocybin on the brain. Psilocybin, traditionally used as a consciousness-expanding substance, has recently begun to be used in medical treatments. The study examined the brain activities of 62 healthy adults. Under psilocybin, brain activities showed changes, but these changes were not random. The brain blurred the boundaries between the external and internal worlds, but at the same time, a pattern emerged. This study provides new insights into the effects of psilocybin on the brain and is promising for future psychiatric treatments.
