Neurogenic Properties of Mushrooms

Dr. Ross provides an overview of what adult neurogenes is, what things promote or prevent neurogenesis and how neurogenesis is a therapeutic target for many mental health and neurological conditions. The mechanisms behind how mushrooms increase neurogenesis, including a surprising link to the endocannabinoid system, as well as the therapeutic implications of this boost are revealed. Finally, putting science into action to legalize magic mushrooms by taking a page off the cannabis legalization playbook is discussed.
