S02E55 - Dr. Stevens Rehen - Psychedelic and Replicating Brains

🎙️ Welcome to a new episode of The Mindfulness Experience podcast, the official Psychedelic Science 2023 Convention media partner! 🍄

Today, we're thrilled to have Dr. Stevens Rehen as our guest. Dr. Rehen is a pioneer in neuroscience, making waves with his work on "human brain organoids," which are essentially miniature versions of the human brain grown in a lab! 🧠

Through a state-of-the-art approach called reprogramming cells, Dr. Rehen and his team have been able to study how psychedelics interact with human brain tissue, uncovering over a thousand proteins in neurons that may change when exposed to various psychedelics. His groundbreaking findings offer a roadmap to understanding the complex pathways involved in the effects of psychedelics on the brain.

But Dr. Rehen's research doesn't stop there! He's also investigating other vital areas of brain research, such as the impacts of viruses like Zika and SARS-CoV-2, and diseases like Alzheimer's and schizophrenia.

Join us as we delve into the fascinating world of Dr. Rehen's research, unearthing new insights into the brain's untapped potential. We'll explore the implications of this research for understanding consciousness, treating diseases, and even aging!

Ladies and Gentlemen, let's warmly welcome Dr. Stevens Rehen! 🙌 Tune in now to embark on this mind-expanding journey!
