The research shows psilocybin's effects differ based on whether the brain is stressed or healthy. In stressed mice (mimicking depression), new spine formation increased more dramatically and existing connection loss was prevented, while in healthy mice both spine production and clearing accelerated.
“These findings challenge the prevailing view that psilocybin simply increases neural connectivity and suggest that its effects depend on the brain's underlying condition.”
