Science ExposedPsilocybin's Lasting Impact: Brain Changes and Well-Being One Month After a Single DoseIn this episode, we dive into groundbreaking research on how a single high dose of psilocybin—yes, the active compound in magic mushrooms—can lead to lasting brain changes. Conducted on 28 participants, this placebo-controlled study found that psilocybin improved cognitive flexibility, psychological insight, and well-being even a month after the dose. Using brain scans, researchers saw decreased connectivity in certain brain regions, which interestingly correlated with higher well-being. Join us as we unpack the science behind how psychedelics might just be rewiring our minds for the better.REFERENCE:Human brain changes after first psilocybin use

Big Picture ScienceSkeptic Check: Brain Gain(repeat) Looking to boost your brainpower? Luckily, there are products promising to help. Smart drugs, neurofeedback exercises, and brain-training video games all promise to improve your gray matter’s performance. But it’s uncertain whether these products really work. Regulatory agencies have come down hard on some popular brain training companies for false advertising. But other brain games have shown benefits in clinical trials. And could we skip the brain workout altogether and pop a genius pill instead? In our monthly look at critical thinking, we separate the pseudo from the science of commercial cognitive enhancement techniques.Guest...
