Study Reveals Psilocybin's Impact on Brain Connectivity

Research shows temporary desynchronization of brain networks with potential therapeutic benefits for mental health

Psilocybin disrupts the default mode network, affecting introspective thinking and self-perception.
Brain connectivity changes during a trip but returns to near-baseline with some lasting effects for weeks.
Findings may explain psilocybin's potential in treating depression, PTSD, and other mental health conditions.
Study involved extensive MRI scans to map brain activity before, during, and after psilocybin use.
Researchers emphasize the importance of medical supervision when using psilocybin.
