Psilocybin as a Treatment for Repetitive Mild Head Injury: Evidence from Neuroradiology and Molecular Biology

Eric K. Brengel, Bryce Axe, Ashwath Maheswari, Muhammad I. Abeer, Richard J. Ortiz, Taylor J. Woodward, Reagan Walhof, Wenwen Du, Rachel Utama, Brandon Rodrigue, Noah J. Cavallaro, Anna Brettler, Courtney Sawada, Anna Moore, Shreyas Balaji, , Craig F. Ferris

This study investigates psilocybin's effects on repetitive mild head injury in rats, showing reductions in edema, improved vascular function, and modulation of neuroinflammatory and neuroplasticity markers.
