Psilocybin mechanistic/'brain remodeling' findings get amplified far beyond their clinical meaning.

Scientists studying how psilocybin (the active compound in magic mushrooms) affects brain signals will publish findings that are genuinely interesting but limited. Journalists, social media, and sometimes even companies will reframe those findings as proof that psilocybin physically restructures the brain or definitively treats mental illness. It doesn't quite say that.
