Psychedelic Mind

Psychedelics may offer a novel way to treat brain disorders by directly targeting neuroinflammation. New research reveals that substances like psilocin can modulate the brain's immune cells, known as microglia. By acting on specific serotonin receptors, they reduce inflammatory responses within the brain without suppressing the body's overall immune system. This targeted mechanism opens up new possibilities for therapies that go beyond the psychoactive effects of these compounds.
