5. "nerve tracts had become denser and more robust...the opposite of what was in ageing and dementia"

When added to the fact that a couple trials with mushrooms help major depression and anxiety disorders, sounds pretty good to me!!

Seems like the headline would be better as "Single dose of magic mushroom psychedelic can cause positive anatomical brain changes, study finds"

I think the assumption is that changes in the brain are not a good thing, so if you just read "drug x causes anatomical brain changes" the thought is "uh oh."
