Exploring The Neurophysiological Effects Of Psilocybin Mushrooms

Image
The use of psychedelic substances has been a part of human culture for thousands of years. Psilocybin mushrooms, one such substance, have been used in many cultures as part of spiritual and medicinal rituals. Recent advances in neuroscience have allowed us to explore the neurophysiological effects of psilocybin mushrooms on the brain and body.
