psilocybin enhancesPsyPost
•80% Informative
Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in certain “magic” mushrooms.
When ingested, psilocin affects the brain by interacting with serotonin receptors.
A recent study published in iScience suggests that psilcybin does not impair learning and may enhance exploratory behavior.
Those on the highest dose ( 20 mg) exhibited faster reaction times compared to the mid-dose group ( 15 mg) Despite subjective reports of impaired vigilance and cognition under psilocybin, objective performance measures did not reflect a significant decline.
This discrepancy highlights the need to consider both subjective experiences and objective data when evaluating the cognitive effects of psychedelics.
