Nico Dosenbach, an associate professor of neurology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, got to find out firsthand what happens to the brain when it's on psychedelics. For science, of course.
"The idea is that you're taking this system that's fundamental to the brain's ability to think about the self in relation to the world, and you're totally desynchronizing it temporarily," study lead author Joshu Siegel, an instructor in psychiatry at WUS, said in a The study was conducted with seven adult participants, including Dosenbach. They were given either a high, 25 milligram dose of psilocybin, or a dose of the mild stimulant Ritalin, and had their brains scanned in an MRI machine around 18 times before, during, and three weeks after their trip. Some of them also took another dose of psilocybin between 6 to 12 months later.
Even better, the brain scans showed that these benefits in brain connectivity subtly persist weeks after the psychedelic experience.
