Scientists Discover How Psilocybin Rewires Brain Circuits to Break Depression

Scientists used a virus to spy on what happens inside mouse brains after psilocybin exposure. What they found explains why this compound keeps showing promise in human depression trials when conventional treatments fail. Neurons changed their wiring patterns in specific ways that appear to break the feedback loops keeping people trapped in negative thinking. Connections…
