First seen Mar 04, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study gives healthy adults psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) and uses brain scans and thinking tasks to understand how it changes thoughts and brain activity. Researchers will compare results when participants take psilocybin versus a placebo. The goal is to learn more about how the drug works in the brain, not to treat any disease.
