🍄Magic Mushrooms on your Brain🤯

🍄Magic mushrooms, also known as psilocybin mushrooms, contain the psychoactive compound psilocybin. When ingested, psilocybin is converted into psilocin in the gut, which then acts on the brain. Psilocin has been found to alter brain activity in a number of ways. It can increase activity in the visual cortex, leading to changes in perception and sensory experiences.

🧠It can also decrease activity in the "Default Mode Network," a network of brain regions involved in self-referential thought and introspection, potentially leading to a sense of ego dissolution. Additionally, psilocin can increase connectivity between different brain regions, potentially leading to increased communication between brain regions and a more integrated state of consciousness.

These effects may be part of the reason why psilocybin has shown promise in the treatment of depression and addiction.
