I haven’t gone looking forthe souce paper, but from the article it looks like seretonin was the actual compound that’s having a beneficial effect, specifically serotonin outside the brain.
So how is a psychedelic pulling this off? The secret could be serotonin receptors found throughout the body, not just in the brain. When activated, they seem to trigger a cascade of effects that reduce stress, preserve DNA, and promote long-term cell health.
They’re talking about psilocin’s activity at serotonin receptors, I’m pretty sure
It’s a bit ambiguous, so you could be right, but I took it to mean that activation of the receptors was that active mechanism, regardless of cause. Psilicin is just the compound they’re focused on, and maybe it does activate them in some unique way that has this effect, but the summary didn’t make that clear.
If there are alternative pathways to activate the receptors they may be better suited to thereputic use without the psycadelic side effects.

Sure just take the fun out of it why don’t you
If you do happen to find it, please post a link. I’ll go looking also.
Never mind. It was linked in the article.The paper in question.
Oooh, yeah… reread it more carefully… wellp! At least we do get some of that from 'shrooms!:))) Partial win!:)))
