Journal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology May 27, 2024 Laura Ramos, Selene G Vicente 5 citations
Psilocybin temporarily changes specific cognitive functions in a way that depends on dose and time, affecting localized brain processes rather than overall cognition. The authors note that current research has important methodological limitations, so more studies are needed—especially those using standardized methods, focusing on depression, and tracking effects over longer periods.
