ResearchHub Foundation(@ResearchHubF):Protection didn't require the psychedelic effect. When the authors swapped psilocybin for tabernanthalog, a non-hallucinogenic compound hitting the same receptors, the mice got similar protection against nerve loss and pain.

See the preregistered study, the reviews, and Ruslan's updates all in the open.
