Magic mushrooms may help reverse stress-induced memory deficits, new study suggests

Recent research found that Psilocybe cubensis extract improved memory and increased brain plasticity-related protein levels in stressed rats, but timing was key, as benefits were observed only when given 24-48 hours before memory training.

Doing another little #bioassay with a big baddie today. IMHO this infamously intimidating 🍄 strain is just misunderstood (and often misdosed), but with a light enough touch, even it can be wrangled into a workable #microdose. #MagicMushroomStrainSelection #PsychedelicResearch #WomenInPsychedelics #StrainSelection #ShroomChooser #WorkJournal #MicrodoseStrainSelection #StrainChoiceMatters #psilocybin #PsilocybeCubensis

Been steadily on the mend from that mercifully mild case of COVID I caught (#VaccinationsWork #ILoveScience) so today I began my first *full month* of a 🍄 #Microdosing protocol. Having tried the #Fadiman 0.4g dose suggestion, I opted for #Stamets "sub-sensorium" 0.1g dose, and the #PsilocybeCubensis I chose is #Mazatapec, an ancient strain known for multigenerational healing use in families who would often take it together. (Macrodosing it is nice, too.) #MicrodoseStrainSelection #ShroomChooser
