THE SCIENCE OF PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOM MICRODOSING

As a option  in the world of alternative therapies because what it does is Microdosing Psilocybin. It has been tested in research to repair brain damage. It is real and should be put down as a option as medical treatment as society is going to be brought up about this research because it is needed to go beyond what failed treatments we all have now. Something to think about looking at the open road ahead! 

Microdosing should used in a long term sense for behavior modification in changing your life but if you are under the hammer it's best to see a Psychedelic therapist to take a normal dose for healing!

Don't take my word for it. I just point to the path what healing anyone does is their healing for themselves so it takes them to decide their own path to heal! A hug for you!

~~~~~THE SCIENCE OF PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOM MICRODOSING
While psychedelic substances have been illegal and prohibited from study in the vast majority of countries up until the past few years, many of the world’s top experts have made incredible strides picking up on research started in the 1950s and 60s.

Although almost no research has been done on microdosing specifically, we know something about what large doses of psychedelics do to the brain.

Much of what we understand about how psychedelics work involves serotonin, a chemical that keeps our brains ticking. It is one of the most important neurotransmitters in the brain and affects nearly everything we do, from how we feel to how we process information.

Classic psychedelics such as LSD and Psilocybin share a similar structure to serotonin, and work along a similar pathway…

Many antidepressants (called Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors, or SSRIs) try to make serotonin more plentiful in the brain to make you feel better.

Psychedelics work more directly, by mimicking serotonin. This means that one of their main effects is to stimulate a serotonin receptor, located in the prefrontal cortex, called “5-HT2A.”

The stimulation of the 5-HT2A receptor leads to two very important results:

The production of “Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor” (BDNF). BDNF is “like Miracle-Gro for your brain. It stimulates growth, connections, and activity.” [1]
The increased transmission of “Glutamate.” Glutamate is the neurotransmitter most responsible for brain functions like cognition, learning, and memory. [2]
Glutamate and BDNF work together in ways we’re still understanding, but it’s become clear that having more of each leads to many of the benefits we all seek from microdosing. [3]

Another thing psychedelics do is to cause parts of the brain that might not usually communicate with one another… to communicate with one another!

Psychedelics allow these unique connections to be formed by dampening the activity of an often over-used part of our brain called the “Default Mode Network” (DMN). [4]

The Default Mode Network is an area of the brain used for an array of different mental activities, including day-dreaming, self-reflection, and thinking about the past or the future. Some studies suggest that depression is linked to an overactive DMN. [5] It’s possible that a highly active DMN causes us to ruminate, over-analyze ourselves, and step out of the present moment to constantly question the past and the future.

This helps explain why these substances could be used to combat depression and anxiety, and also lead to insights and creative perspectives that otherwise remain inaccessible to us.

~~~~~This Is Your Brain on Microdoses of Psilocybin
Microdosing psilocybin via "magic truffles" may promote out-of-the-box thinking.
New research from the Netherlands suggests that taking minuscule amounts of psilocybin in a "microdose" may improve both convergent and divergent thinking in ways that promote cognitive flexibility, creativity, and single-solution problem-solving. A typical psychedelic dose of psilocybin—which is found in “magic mushrooms” and “magic truffles”—for someone with average body weight is about 3.5 grams when the mushroom or truffle is dried; a microdose is roughly 1/10th of a hallucinogenic dosage.

The latest study on microdosing psychedelics led by Luisa Prochazkova of the Cognitive Psychology Unit & Leiden Institute for Brain and Cognition at Leiden University, “Exploring the Effect of Microdosing Psychedelics on Creativity in an Open-Label Natural Setting," was published October 25 in the journal Psychopharmacology.

In describing their new study, Prochazkova and co-authors said, "Taken together, our results suggest that consuming a microdose of [psychedelic] truffles allowed participants to create more out-of-the-box alternative solutions for a problem, thus providing preliminary support for the assumption that microdosing improves divergent thinking."
