  • Potent psychedelic drug banishes PTSD, small study finds

    Psychedelic drugs such as MDMA and psilocybin, the hallucinogenic compound found in magic mushrooms, have promised to revolutionize psychiatric treatments.

  • Why Do We Feel Like We Can Score 40/20 in Visual Acuity on Low Doses of Psychedelics?

    [Andrew] Huberman explains that psilocybin binds strongly to our serotonin 2A receptors due to their similar chemical structures, and this bond leads to alterations in perception, mood, and cognition. A large amount of our brains’ 5HT2A receptors are located in the neo-cortex, which includes the prefrontal cortex and areas that mediate sensation. One specific area…
