Researchers are studying how compounds like #psilocybin interact with serotonin receptors and influence brain networks linked to mood and perception.

Early findings help improve our understanding of conditions like depression and anxiety, and how the brain adapts over time.

This month, New Mexico allocated $630,000 to create the first #medical #psilocybin equity fund in the US, aiming to ensure access regardless of income.
At the same time, legislation is advancing in Massachusetts, & King County, Washington has moved to support research/deprioritize enforcement.

Federal government funds first major psilocybin study in Oregon The federal government is funding new research into psilocybin, awarding OHSU a $3.3 million grant to study its effects on mental health and addiction. The five-year study will track outcomes as Oregon's legal program continues.

OHSU received a 5-year, $3.3M grant from the National Institute of Health to research the effects of legal #psilocybin on those suffering from #addiction. www.centraloregondaily.com/news/local/ohsu-psilocyb...

A new study from the @alleninstitute.org shows that #psilocybin has a long-lasting effect on the physical structure of the brain’s connections. Just one dose of psilocybin changes the structure of dendritic spines!

Is it depression or Autistic Burnout?
For years, I lived under the wrong diagnosis. Traditional treatments fail when we mistake a nervous system paralyzed by "masking" for a simple chemical imbalance.
In my latest article, I explore the neurobiology of burnout and the emerging role of psilocybin […]

Study links psilocybin receptor activation to sustained structural brain changes Clinical trials show psilocybin provides rapid relief for depression, but the underlying biology remains unclear. New research demonstrates how varying doses of the drug bind to serotonin receptors to enhance cellular flexibility.

Line graph shows the mean change from baseline on the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD17) total score over 12 weeks for four treatment groups: Nicotinamide + psilocybin@1, psilocybin@2, psilocybin@3, and psilocybin@4.

Functional unblinding and expectation may confound efficacy signals in #Psilocybin trials for #Depression, making it difficult to isolate therapeutic effects of psychedelic experiences from placebo and expectancy responses.

As States Legalize Psilocybin, NIH Moves to Study the Real-World Impact For the first time, federal researchers will study what happens when people access psychedelic treatment outside tightly controlled clinical trials.

A $3.3M grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health will support scientists at OHSU and collaborating institutions as they assess the safety and effectiveness of Oregon’s state-regulated #psilocybin services.

Some spiritual traditions suggest that #psilocybin acts as a consciousness-expanding tool connected to larger galactic intelligence. According to this #perspective, its purpose is to help humanity shift from mind-based #awareness to heart-centered #consciousness.
