📍 How it ended
Research indicated that psilocybin reshapes brain circuits and connections through distinct cellular pathways, replacing lost synapses in depressed brains. Studies also suggested that psilocybin and LSD may reorganize the brain's global workspace, with LSD increasing neural complexity and speeding up brain waves.
