First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study will give 20 healthy adults a single dose of psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) to see how it changes mood and well-being. Some participants will also get a drug called pimavanserin beforehand to help understand which brain receptors are involved. The goal is to learn more about how psilocybin works, not to treat any disease.
