Exciting new research into psilocybin suggests that it could hold the key to treating major depression. Psilocybin desynchronizes key brain networks, including the default mode network, which could explain how it achieves its therapeutic effects. The network desynchronization persisted for weeks after treatment but resolved after six months. This breakthrough research offers hope for those suffering from depression. #PsilocybinResearch #DepressionTreatment #BrainScience
