You know, sometimes, it is by seeing the small steps that we make how great we can take. And speaking of small steps, let's get into the world of microdosage, where size does not really count, but the impact, yes!
Today, attach your belts (or not, it's rather relaxed here), because we are going to dive into a New study published in Nature. And no, this is not a study on how ants manage their daily stress, but something so captivating: the microdosage of psychedelics.
Now I know what you think: "Can these small doses really cause significant changes?" Well, dear curious friends, prepare to be amazed!
It will shake your perception of the world, and maybe even your perception of microdosage of psychedelics. 🚀
Study on psilocybine microdosage
The most recent study on microdosage, published in Molecular Psychiatry by Nature, offers an exciting overview of the possibility of making our lives a little less crazy. 🌱 Who would have thought that the answer to our problems was in a fungus?
We now wonder if this little something could be the key to dealing with the stress daily. Just imagine: a pinch of microdosage To recalibrate your emotional compass. 🧭 It would make stress management a part of cake, right?
But wait, these are not just philosophical reveries! The practical implications of this discovery are as real as your morning coffee. Science evolves with a giant step, and with each study, we approach a little more of the understanding of these brain micro-interactions that could trigger improvement major in our daily life. 🚀
And now the latest crisp news in the matter!
Intrepid researchers plunged head first into the world of microdosage with a well -controlled animal model. They hope to demystify the secrets of microdosage which may well be the key to happiness (or at least management of stress). 🐭✨
In this study, they used rats as test animals and have administered of the psilocybin has low doses, comparable to a microdosis for humans, Every two days for 21 days. Here is what they discovered:
-
Tolerance : Rats have remarkably well tolerated the low doses of psilocybin, without any sign of anhedonia, anxiety or modification of movements - crucial markers since they are similar to those we use to assess human responses.
-
Stress resilience : Microdosage seems to strengthen rats against stress, a glimmer of hope for what could result in human experiences.
-
Behavioral changes : The frequency of behaviors similar to human compulsions has decreased considerably, referring to the potential of psilocybin to attenuate certain repetitive and potentially painful patterns of thought.
-
Biological changes : Beyond behavior, the study highlighted an increase in the expression of the 5-HT7 receptor and synaptic density in the paraventricular thalamic nucleus, indicating improved neural connectivity.
Now, this last part deserves special attention, so let me explain it to you in a humorous way:
Let's talk about synaptic density, Paris of brain signals. Imagine yourself in the midst of information, where synapses are the roundabouts where it hostes. Well, the microdosage of psilocybin, it's a bit like having a super urban planner in this cranial metropolis. More intersections, fewer traffic jams, and a communication more fluid that the last tube of the moment.
And guess what? The rats, these anonymous heroes of research, showed increased resistance to stress after their magic mushroom cure in miniature. THE Paraventricular thalamic nucleus, there Ali Baba cave stress in rats, had a makeover thanks to the microdosage. Result : less stress, no more coolness.
Conclusion :
Some skeptical minds say: "Well, there is nothing in it!" They point to studies that compare microdosage to a placebo and that have found nothing crazy in terms of mood, attention or creativity.
But these studies are often questionnaires and lab tests. Like, serious, as if you could encapsulate all the experience in a small check box. Maybe they miss the nuances of real life, you see?
And there, drum roll, a new study arrives, with its controlled atmosphere and its physiological side. She tells us that microdosage is not just a placebo thing, it's serious, it even affects brain chemistry. 🧠
Of course, we are not yet at the microdosage party accepted by all. There are still steps to climb, research to do (especially on real humans, not only on mice that seem lost).
But each study is like a USB key with knowledge that we are in the wearing of understanding. It is progressing, little by little.
Want to dive into this strange world of microdosage? Curious like a cat in front of a cardboard box? So let's explore the depths of the brain together! 🚀
Microdosage FAQ:
Is microdosage safe?
According to preliminary studies, microdosage seems to be well tolerated and without serious adverse effects. However, it is always recommended to consult a healthcare professional before starting any microdosage practice.
What substances are commonly used for microdosage?
The most commonly used substances for microdosage are psilocybin (present in magic mushrooms or truffles) and LSD. However, it is important to note that their use must be done in a responsible and legal manner.
What are the expected effects of microdosage?
Users report effects such as improvement in mood, creativity, concentration and a decrease in stress and anxiety. However, the effects may vary from person to person.
How do you determine the right dose for microdosage?
The recommended dose for microdosage is generally sub-perceptible, which means that it does not produce significant psychedelic effects. It is recommended to start with a very low dose and to gradually adjust according to individual responses.
Is microdosage legal?
The legality of the microdosage depends on the substance used and the legislation of the country. In some places, the microdosage of substances such as psilocybin and LSD is illegal, while in other places, it can be tolerated or even legal in a medical or research framework.
Can microdosage be used to treat mental health disorders?
Although preliminary studies have shown promising results, microdosage is not yet an approved practice for the treatment of mental health problems. It is important to consult a health professional for any medical condition.
What are the potential risks of microdosage?
Although microdosage is generally considered safe, there may be potential risks such as adverse reactions, drug interactions and deterioration of mental health in some people. Responsible use and medical supervision are essential.
How can I find a microdosage community?
There are several online and offline communities dedicated to the microdosage. You can join forums, discussion groups or events related to the microdosage to share experiences and get advice.
Is microdosage recommended for everyone?
Microdosage is not recommended for everyone. It is important to take into account individual physical and mental health, medical history and current drugs before deciding to practice microdosage. A medical consultation is always recommended.
Are there research on microdosage in other areas than psychology?
Although most research on microdosage focuses on its psychological effects, there are also studies exploring its potential in other areas, such as creativity, productivity and improving cognitive performance. However, these areas still require in -depth research.
All the information contained in this article is based on sources and references, and all the opinions expressed are mine. I do not give advice to anyone and although I am happy to discuss subjects, if someone has another question or concern, he should ask for advice from a competent specialist. People who suffer from psychiatric, neurological or cardiovascular disorders or who use psychiatric drugs should completely avoid microdosage.
