Why Psilocybin (Magic Mushrooms) Causes Visual Hallucinations | Dr. Andrew Huberman

Dr. Andrew Huberman discusses the high concentration of serotonin 2A receptors in the brain's neocortex, particularly the prefrontal and visual cortex, and how this relates to psilocybin-induced visual hallucinations, emphasizing the therapeutic benefits of closed-eye experiences during psilocybin sessions.

Dr. Andrew Huberman is a tenured professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford University School of Medicine and host of the Huberman Lab podcast.
