The Potential of Psilocybin Microdosing for Mental Health
A study conducted by researchers at the University of Southern Denmark explores the therapeutic potential of psilocybin microdosing, specifically focusing on the effects of repeated low doses of psilocybin on stress resilience and compulsive behaviors in rats. The study found that rats tolerated the microdoses well and exhibited increased resilience to stress, as well as a reduction in compulsive behaviors. Additionally, there was an increase in connectivity to the thalamus, a brain region involved in decision-making and concern filtration. These findings support the growing anecdotal reports of the positive effects of microdosing and pave the way for further research into the potential therapeutic applications of psilocybin.
