Article Synopsis
- Decreased dendritic spine density in the brain is linked to mental health issues, and psychedelics might help brain cells grow stronger.
- Scientists found that a special receptor in the brain, called 5-HT2AR, is really important for how psychedelics change brain connections, but not all drugs that affect this receptor work the same way.
- They discovered that the 5-HT2ARs inside brain cells might be the key to these changes, suggesting new ways to treat brain problems and hinting that serotonin might not be the usual signal for these receptors.
