Successful Psilocybin Treatment of Alzheimer
Summary
A Frontiers in Neuroscience case report documents transient multidomain functional improvements in an advanced Alzheimer’s patient following high-dose psilocybin mushrooms. The study discusses autonomic activation, late-onset autobiographical speech, and subsequent gains in continence, mobility, communication, and social interaction, while noting limitations and the need for controlled research. It frames psilocybin as a neuromodulatory intervention with potential for residual functional capacity in late-stage dementia, not disease reversal.
