Study Finds That Psilocybin Promotes Lasting Belief Changes by Changing Neural Entropy
A new study whose findings were published in the Scientific Reports journal has revealed that psilocybin weakens the negative beliefs that an individual has and promotes well-being by ramping up neural entropy. These findings open additional possibilities for ways in which psychedelic therapy can be used in mental health care. The researchers started by tweaking the REBUS model, which says that psychedelics exert a temporal relaxation of the hierarchical organization in the brain. During this window, flexible thinking can take place. The research team made an extension to this REBUS model by introducing the REBAS model that posits that psilocybin…
