Psilocybin - Pharmacology
Psilocybin acts as an agonist for the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, or 5-HT). It binds to 5-HT receptors in the brain, and mimics the effects of serotonin.
While psilocybin may deliver a stronger impulse to the postsynaptic receptor than serotonin does, mostly the effect is a product of the fact that there is now both serotonin and a serotonin agonist in the synapse (this is equivalent to having twice as much serotonin in the synapse). Compare this effect to that of MDMA, which increases the amount of actual serotonin in the synapse at any given moment.
