Effect Of Psilocin On The Brain
    #22160987 - 08/29/15 02:16 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

Dear Psychologists and others,
today, as a neuron, I was wondering about the effects that psilocin has on someone's brain. I read that it causes nerve cells to emit serotonin and then periodically takes away the emitting nerve cell's ability to reuptake any excess serotonin and that psilocin has a similar chemical structure to serotonin, so it can easily bind to neuroreceptors.

Should you know anything about the effects that psilocin has on your brain, please share your knowledge.

Ego death is a fun experience although it isn't mentioned in here.

I'm sorry man, I can't add much as I don't know how it affects the brain specifically, but that is an absolutely brilliant start to a post.

Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not.

Psilocin as well as other psychedelics shut down activity in the region of the brain responsible for 'filtering' information from reality, thereby allowing more information from the environment to enter the brain which would normally be filtered out.

It creates a hyper-connected brain, sprouting new links between previously disconnected brain regions.

Also, psilocin as well as other psychedelics have been shown to promote neurogenesis. (the growth of new brain cells)

It'd be interesting to understand this in a bit more depth. Do you have a source?

theres another bit of information I nearly forgot, that magic mushrooms seem to put the brain into a waking dream state. (related to hyper-connected brain)
