Psilocybin Rewires Brain Connections Reduces Brain's Depression
Psilocybin Rewires are trying to help human beings by making technology to alleviate the depression of the human brain. Through technology, people can reduce their brain depression.
Highlights
- Psilocybin works differently from conventional antidepressants
- Psilocybin needs more research to understand the brain’s activity
- A lab test has been conducted on patients having brain Depression

As per the study by scientists at UC San Francisco and Imperial College London, Psilocybin fosters greater connections between different regions of the brain in depressed people, liberating them from long-held patterns of rumination and excessive self-focus.
The discovery and study is focusing on a general mechanism through which psychedelics may be acting therapeutically on the brain to reduce depression and possibly other psychiatric conditions that are made by the fixed conditions of overthinking.
The scientist has researched people more than 60 who had participated in two psilocybin trials. In the first trial, all the participants go through the test and showed some positive results as they also knew that they were going through psilocybin. In other conditions in which participants were attacked by depression but they were not as severe as in the first case.
A senior author of the study said “In previous studies, we had seen a similar effect in the brain when people were scanned whilst on a psychedelic, but here we’re seeing it weeks after treatment for depression, which suggests a carry-over of the acute drug action,” Robin Carhart-Harris, who directs the Neuroscape Psychedelics Division at UCSF said.
The head of the research, David Nutt said “For the first time we find that psilocybin works differently from conventional antidepressants making the brain more flexible and fluid, and less entrenched in the negative thinking patterns associated with depression,” stated by the head of the Imperial Centre for Psychedelic Research. Further added, “This supports our initial predictions and confirms psilocybin could be a real alternative approach to depression treatments.”
Nowadays, Science and Technology are attached to our health system of the human body. Every possible technology being used in every hospital is an impressive collaboration.
