This is Your Brain on Magic Mushrooms! 🍄🧠 A new #Nature study led by Josh Siegel shows that high doses of psilocybin cause widespread changes in brain function, desynchronizing brain activity and altering our sense of self, time, and space. This desynchronization may drive brain plasticity triggered by psych€-delics. 🍄 Researchers tracked healthy adults before, during, and weeks after a psilocybin dose. They found profound desynchronization across the cerebral cortex and subcortex, especially in the default mode network (DMN), crucial for our sense of self. 🧠 Psilocybin’s disruptive effects decreased when participants focused on simple tasks, suggesting a basis for grounding during psychedelic therapy. 🍄 The study also showed a lasting decrease in connectivity between the anterior hippocampus and DMN circuits, controlling self-oriented thinking and memory. This shift might change how someone perceives their place and story in the world, potentially explaining psilocybin’s antidepressant effects. This study is likely the most advanced and extensive study on the brain effects of psych€-delics ever conducted, involving roughly 18 magnetic imaging visits per participant. Psychedelic science is moving fast, very curious for what will come next. https://lnkd.in/dgX-VhJB #mentalhealth #psychiatry #neuroscience #pharmacology

TO MY COMMUNITY: PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION TO SUPPORT MDMA-ASSISTED THERAPY FOR PTSD The FDA is on the verge of making a critical decision regarding the approval of MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD. Unfortunately, a recent recommendation from the FDA Advisory Committee opposed this approval, despite the significant potential benefits for millions living with PTSD. Clinical trials have demonstrated remarkable results, with 71% of participants no longer meeting the diagnostic criteria for PTSD after MDMA-assisted therapy. This therapy could offer a transformative solution for those struggling with this challenging condition. The FDA's final decision is due in August 2024. Your support is vital to help make this life-changing treatment available. By signing the petition, you can make a real difference. Every day without this treatment, we risk losing more lives to the devastating impact of PTSD. The time to act is NOW. And it takes two minutes! Sign the petition here: https://lnkd.in/eWqzmpHT Thank you for your support!

Psychedelic Saiyan ❌ Psychedelic HR ✔ The burnout rate among employees is staggering- 78% according to the UKG Workforce Institute! And it's not just burnout; productivity is plummeting too, and resignation is increasing during this ongoing war for talent. What does HR have for the mental well-being of their team? Traditional treatments are effective but tend to lose their potency over time. What then? Maybe psychedelic therapy, the talk around the town (or continent afar). Ketamine Assisted Therapy (KAT) is being introduced as an ancillary benefit for employees. What’s the scoop on KAT?  It works wonders for treatment-resistant depression, Anxiety disorders, and PTSD So, who let the KAT out? I heard about KAT while listening to a podcast, People Managing People, by Enthea co-founder Sherry Rais Enthea, a US-based startup, is pioneering KAT. They're partnering with corporations to include KAT in employee benefit schemes. And the results? Out of 320 employees at a partnered organization, about 7% accessed the therapy: 🔥 An 86% improvement in PTSD 🔥 A 67% reduction in major depressive disorder symptoms 🔥 A 65% decline in generalized anxiety disorder symptoms Peter Thiel has invested in Atai Life Sciences, which is working towards producing some of the aforementioned drugs. HRs tried hard to manage the great resignation. Now they can look into great regeneration.
