Psilocybin effects on memory and brain function
Treatments studied
This study tests how psilocybin, a substance that can cause hallucinations, affects memory and brain activity in healthy adults. It may help us understand how psilocybin could be used for mental health treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests how psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) affects consciousness by blocking a specific serotonin receptor in the brain. It helps researchers understand why psilocybin causes altered states of mind.
This Phase 1/2 study tests psilocybin to see how it affects brain signals and the “content” of thoughts while you are monitored during the study. Because participants must be generally healthy and mentally stable, it may be an option if you meet those safety and medication rules and are comfortable having your brain activity measured.
This trial tests whether taking pimavanserin before psilocybin changes the drug's effects in healthy volunteers who have never used psychedelics. It aims to understand how to make psychedelic therapy safer and more predictable.
This study tests how psilocybin, a psychedelic substance, affects the brain and body in healthy volunteers. It aims to find biological and mental changes that could help future therapies.
This early-stage research study tests how psilocybin (a naturally occurring compound from certain mushrooms) works when combined with a medication that blocks a specific serotonin pathway in the brain. Researchers want to understand how these two substances interact in healthy volunteers to inform future psychiatric treatment studies.
This study looks at how a single dose of psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) affects brain structure in healthy older adults. You'll receive the drug in a safe setting and have brain scans before and after to see if it promotes positive changes.
