Woman with advanced Alzheimer's regained speech and memories after taking magic mushrooms

A woman with advanced Alzheimer’s disease saw significant improvements in brain function after taking psilocybin-containing mushrooms. That’s according to a case report recently published in Frontiers in Neuroscience, which focused on an elderly woman who had been living with Alzheimer's disease for about 10 years. The Japanese-American woman, whose name was not shared, had experienced severe functional decline for roughly five years.
