Scientists probe psilocybin's brain secrets in healthy volunteers

NCT ID NCT07565493

First seen May 07, 2026 · Last updated May 07, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how blocking a specific brain receptor (5-HT1a) changes the effects of psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms. Researchers will give 18 healthy adults psilocybin with or without a blocker drug and measure their experiences using surveys and brain wave recordings. The goal is to understand the brain mechanisms behind psilocybin's effects, not to treat any disease.
