“Psilocybin has reversed all signs of my brain damage. Neurologists can’t find any abnormalities in my brain scans, and my blood work is coming back clean and healthy,” Carcillo said.

The repeated scans—which measure real-time brain activity via blood flow—were crucial to establish what each person’s normal looks like and how that picture changes with psilocybin.

Researchers will study the patients’ behaviors, responses as well as brain scans. Here's more information about the study on depression, including criteria for people interested in participating.

Brain scans taken before, during and after people are tripping on psilocybin show the brain becomes desynchronized —disrupting those negative thoughts and allowing people to see themselves ...
