"A new study published in Nature Neuroscience provides a detailed look at how the psychedelic drug psilocybin facilitates the unlearning of fear in the brain. The research reveals that the drug does not simply boost learning capabilities but specifically coordinates the suppression of neurons holding traumatic memories while recruiting new cells to encode safety. These changes in neural activity patterns were found to predict how successfully an individual could overcome a conditioned fear response."
