Transcriptional regulation in the rat prefrontal cortex and hippocampus after a single administration of psilocybin

In a recent paper, Oskar Jefsen, Betina Elfving, Gregers Wegener, and Heidi Kaastrup Müller characterize how psilocybin, the psychedelic drug found in ‘magic mushrooms’ regulate plasticity-related transcription in the rat brain, supporting the hypothesis that psilocybin increases neuroplasticity
