Acute psilocin increased cortical activity in rat
Frontiers in Neuroscience February 4, 2026 Junhong Liu, Y. Lynn Wang, Ke Xia et al.
Psilocin, a naturally occurring hallucinogenic component of magic mushrooms, exerts notable psychoactive effects in both humans and rodents. However, the underlying mechanisms remain not fully understood. Blood-oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a valuable tool in many preclinical and clinical trials for investigating changes of brain activity and...
