A Single Dose of Psilocybin Increases Synaptic Density and Decreases 5-HT(2A) Receptor Density in the Pig Brain

A single dose of psilocybin, a psychedelic and serotonin 2A receptor (5-HT(2A)R) agonist, may be associated with antidepressant effects. The mechanism behind its antidepressive action is unknown but could be linked to increased synaptogenesis and down-regulation of cerebral 5-HT(2A)R. Here, we inves...
