What Psilocybin Does to Your Brain


In this video, Jonathan from the Institute of Human Anatomy delves into the fascinating effects of psilocybin on the brain. Learn what psilocybin is, how it affects different regions of the brain, including the prefrontal and visual cortices, and its impact on the default mode network, leading to phenomena like ego death. Discover the potential benefits of psilocybin for mental health, including its role in enhancing synaptic plasticity and its promising applications in treating conditions like PTSD, anxiety, depression, and addiction.

We also discuss the importance of set and setting in psilocybin sessions and highlight the potential risks and negative effects, especially for individuals with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.
