Imagine a forest after a devastating fire. The trees are blackened, the air silent. But if you look closely, you will see something remarkable: under the ashes, new shoots emerge. This is also how neuroplasticity works. And those who work with microdosing discover that the brain is as resilient as nature.
What exactly is neuroplasticity?
Neuroplasticity is your brain's ability to adapt, make new connections and repair damaged networks. It used to be thought that the brain was 'finished' after childhood. But today we know better: our brain continues to learn, heal and change throughout our lives.
Microdosing with magic truffles appears to stimulate this plasticity. More and more people report feeling clearer, experiencing more focus, recovering faster from setbacks. But how exactly does this work?
How do magic truffles affect the brain?
Magic truffles include psilocybin, baeocystin and norbaeocystin. These substances work together in what we call the entourage effect. Psilocybin is converted in the body to psilocin, which is similar to serotonin and binds to the 5-HT2A receptors in the brain.
Under the influence of these substances, temporary changes occur in the brain's Default Mode Network (DMN). This network is involved in self-reflection, brooding and fixed thinking patterns. Microdosing appears to temporarily "soften" the DMN, making room for new connections.
What does the science say about microdosing and neuroplasticity?
Research by the University of Maastricht and Johns Hopkins, among others, shows that psilocybin stimulates the production of BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor). This substance plays a key role in brain repair and the growth of new neurons.
A 2020 study published in *Cell Reports* showed that psychedelics such as psilocybin can accelerate the growth of neural connections. Mice given microdoses of psilocybin developed more synapses and recovered faster from stress.
What do you notice about it in everyday life?
People who integrate microdosing into their lives notice subtle but meaningful changes. You get up in the morning with more peace in your head. The fog that hung there just yesterday seems dissolved. In conversations, you are more alert, less likely to be defensive. Mistakes feel less like failure, and more like learning.
Many users experience:
- Greater resilience in the face of adversity, as if your brain 'rebounds' faster after stress
- Less fixed thinking, more creativity, you suddenly come up with new angles or solutions
- Improved focus, especially for long-term work or study
- A more positive self-image, with more compassion and gentleness towards yourself
They are not abrupt changes, but a slowly unfolding process. As if your brain is learning to move again, with more freedom and direction.
Who is this interesting for?
Microdosing XP sees growth especially in the following groups:
- People in recovery from burnout or depression
- Creative professionals
