On: Compound found in the hallucinogenic tea ayahuasca can grow new brain cells

We know that psilocybin alleviates depression by reducing inflammation in the brain, but how?

My pet theory is that given the antiviral properties of fungii, psilocybin cubensis kills off undiscovered viruses in the brain stem, allowing inflammation to recede.

(Psilocybin also triggers neurogenesis.)
