It seems to connect the reward part of your brain with the task part of your brain.
I ordered a new batch this week. I’ll keep it up as long as it gets through.
The effects of psilocybin on the Task Positive Network
Our brains and their innate networks must be precisely calibrated to be and feel at our best. When rattled, dysregulation in the Default Mode Network can become a reliable predictor of behavioral or mental health issues.
Calibration and regulation can only happen when there are optimal neural connections. Higher levels of brain connectivity allow for fluid switching between the DMN and the TPN.
In other words, the higher the connections between brain networks, the easier it is to not ruminate, to go out and exercise, to not feel self-involved, and perhaps even act more altruistically.

When we look at the above picture, the image on the left shows a normal, well-ordered brain. In contrast, the image on the right shows a picture of a brain after a psilocybin injection.
The brain on psilocybin shows a vast cross-linking of networks, indicating greater communication across the brain as a whole. The brain seems to become temporarily more interconnected and able to create new perspectives, insights, and meanings while the DMN is temporarily pulled offline.
