Summary
Scientists have found a groundbreaking way to study how psychedelics affect human brain cells by using lab-grown neural tissue. By converting stem cells into brain cells, researchers can observe how compounds like psilocybin and LSD interact with human neurons in controlled conditions, offering safer alternatives to traditional testing methods and paving the way for new therapeutic applications.
