May 8, 2025 - Overall, these studies underscore the serotonergic modulation of neuroplasticity and the therapeutic promise of psychedelics (Figure 3) Figure 3. A schematic diagram illustrating how psychedelics like DMT and psilocybin enhance neuroplasticity ...

July 23, 2025 - Psilocybin, a compound found in Psilocybe mushrooms, is emerging as a promising treatment for neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders, including major depressive disorder. Its potential therapeutic effects stem from promoting neuroprotection, ...

February 17, 2025 - Psilocybin stimulates neurogenesis, particularly in the hippocampus (learning and memory) and pre-frontal cortex (mood and executive function), repairing stress-related damage and supporting learning, memory, and emotional health.

August 19, 2021 - Findings from in vitro and in vivo studies show that these compounds stimulate neurogenesis, BDNF, and have antidepressant effects (70–73). Neuroplastic changes induced by ayahuasca may result from DMT, β-alkaloids, or an interaction between ...

November 10, 2025 - This protein helps brain cells in growing new arms and in forming new connections with other brain cells. The exciting part is that these effects don’t just take place during a psilocybin experience, but can last long after the experience, providing an extended window of enhanced neuroplasticity.

July 24, 2023 - But magic mushrooms and some similar psychedelics have unique properties that set them apart. They cross the blood brain barrier to stimulate neurogenesis, provoke neuroplastic changes, and reduce neuroinflammation.

September 2, 2025 - Although most contemporary psychedelic ... studies in animal models have shown that psychedelics may promote neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity, especially in the hippocampus—a region critical to memory and learning that is ...

July 24, 2025 - Neuroplasticity Enhancement: The compound appears to reopen “critical periods” of plasticity, allowing the adult brain to reorganize and form new neural pathways more readily than previously thought possible. 5-HT2A Receptor Activation: Psilocybin’s effects are mediated through serotonin 2A receptors, which trigger cascades of molecular events promoting synaptic plasticity and neurogenesis.

June 21, 2023 - Psilocybin is a psychedelic compound found in psilocybe species of mushrooms, and a synthetic, investigational formulation of psilocybin is currently in Phase 3 clinical trials for treatment-resistant depression. However, psilocybin’s antidepressant mechanism of action remains elusive. Increasing evidence suggests psilocybin may promote neuroplasticity, contributing to its antidepressant effects. Adult hippocampal neurogenesis is affected in depression

September 19, 2022 - Classic psychedelics, such as LSD, psilocybin, and the DMT-containing beverage ayahuasca, show some potential to treat depression, anxiety, and addiction. Importantly, clinical improvements can last for months or years after treatment. It has been theorized that these long-term improvements arise because psychedelics rapidly and lastingly stimulate neuroplasticity.

June 9, 2023 - A new mouse study showed how one dose of psilocybin led to an immediate, long-lasting increase in the number and strength of connections between neurons.

July 7, 2021 - Magic mushrooms are thought to increase your brain's neuroplasticity via the 5HT1A serotonin receptor. In rodent studies, it has increased the rate of neurogenesis in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex.
