Psilocybin is a naturally occurring compound found in certain mushroom species. In the body, psilocybin is converted into psilocin, which is the form that most directly affects the brain. In scientific studies, psilocin is best known for interacting with serotonin signaling, especially the 5-HT2A receptor, which is linked to perception, mood, and cognition. Researchers describe these effects as temporary changes in how the brain processes information, including shifts in brain networks tied to sense of self and attention.
Over the last decade, clinical research has rapidly expanded, with carefully controlled trials testing psilocybin-assisted therapy for conditions like major depressive disorder and treatment-resistant depression. These studies are performed in medical-style settings with screening, structured psychological support, and follow-up, because “set and setting” and patient selection can strongly influence outcomes and safety. This research momentum is one reason psilocybin programs have also received FDA Breakthrough Therapy designation in specific investigational contexts, which is meant to speed development and review, but is not the same thing as approval. High Science® covers this topic as plant science education, focusing on what the evidence shows today, what still remains unknown, and what is legal in the United States, so the public can advocate with facts instead of hype.
