Neuroscientists: Shroom-induced brain rewiring could hold the key to fighting mental illness - psilocybin

The picture from there showing the enhanced brain connections is great.  This joins marijuana, ecstasy and levodopa as possible help in stroke recovery. But this will never occur with our fossilized Congress.

Psychedelic mushrooms dramatically increase connectivity between otherwise uncommunicative parts of the brain, according to researchers from Imperial College London in an article to be published in the November edition of the Royal Society’s journal Interface.
Paul Expert and his team analyzed functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data from two groups of people — one who had ingested a small amount of the active agent in hallucinogenic mushrooms, psilocybin, and another group who was given a placebo.

On the left is a data visualization of a brain administered the placebo; on the right, one that has been subjected to a mild dose of psilocybin.
