Abstract Psilocybin acutely alters neurotrophic, neurochemical, and immune markers, but the relationships between these responses and circulating microRNAs (miRNAs), i.e. non-coding RNAs that regulate post-transcriptional gene expression, remain unclear. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 62 healthy adults who received psilocybin (0.17 mg/kg) or placebo, we previously...
