 n Host:\n In Vitro Screening of the Neuroplastic Effect of Psychoactive Mu
 shroom Extracts\n\nNeuroplasticity underlies learning\, memory\, and cogni
 tive flexibility\, and its impairment is a hallmark of neurological and ps
 ychiatric disorders. While psychedelic compounds are associated with plast
 icity-enhancing effects\, the neuroplastic potential of whole mushroom ext
 racts remains poorly characterized. Here\, we tested whether whole extract
 s from neuroactive fungi modulate structural plasticity using an in vitro 
 neuronal model and a high-throughput neurite analysis system we developed.
  Psilocybin-producing mushrooms showed species-specific effects\, likely r
 eflecting differences in metabolic composition\, whereas Amanita muscaria 
 showed no detectable structural or molecular effects. Together\, these fin
 dings demonstrate that whole mushroom extracts differentially affect neuro
 nal plasticity and established a platform for identifying novel modulators
  of neuronal growth.\n\n&nbsp\;
