Psilocybin's powerful short- and long-term effects on your brain are revealed by this intrepid precision imaging drug trial published in @Nature. As one of the scientists I was also a study volunteer. Spending hours in an MRI scanner, while tripping on 25 mg was the experience of a lifetime. Ever since, it's fascinated me that I can remember all of it, even though my thoughts were massively distorted. I took notes afterwards and turned them into a story ... given the interest, I'll try to publish it somewhere.

After a high dose of psilocybin, the brain desynchronizes at a massive scale, causing loss of our sense of self, time, and space. This may drive the burst of plasticity caused by psychedelics. The next day, brain activity has largely returned to normal, but an echo remains – a reset of circuits critical to the sense of self.

Good morning #Flux2023! Come find me, the pink haired 4th year Phd student and NSF fellow for questions about neurodev conditions (#ADHD#Autism) and the @JDPClinicalPsy. I’m out networking for future internship, collaborations, and science friends! 💅🏼
For people attending @FluxSociety, can we get a thread going of people that are (or will) be recruiting PhD students, Postdocs &/or Research Scientists? That way RAs, PhD students or Postdocs can look for you? 👀
