Psilocybin Shows Promise in Temporarily Restoring Functions in Advanced Alzheimer’s Disease. New Case Report Reveals In a striking case that challenges long-held assumptions about the irreversibility of advanced neurodegeneration, an 80-year-old woman with severe Alzheimer’s disease experienced significant, though temporary, improvements in speech, memory, mobility, and daily functioning after receiving a high dose of psilocybin-containing mushrooms. The woman, who had lived with Alzheimer’s symptoms for nearly a decade and had been largely silent and dependent on caregivers for the past five years, received a supervised 5-gram dose of psilocybin mushrooms (Enigma strain) in Brazil. Within about 19–20 hours, she began speaking in full sentences, recalling detailed personal memories, regaining bladder control, dressing herself independently, and engaging socially with eye contact and emotional responsiveness. These gains persisted for weeks, allowing her to walk with greater agility, retrieve contextual memories, and participate in conversations. A follow-up 3-gram dose further enhanced effects, including moments of humor and vivid recollections, such as describing surfing with her son. The improvements were not permanent and eventually faded, but the case suggests that in advanced Alzheimer’s, some cognitive and functional abilities may not be entirely erased by neurodegeneration but could instead be rendered inaccessible—potentially “unlocked” through mechanisms like psilocybin’s effects on neuroplasticity, serotonin receptors, and brain network connectivity. Details from the Case Report Published in Frontiers in Neuroscience, the exploratory observational case report details the woman’s journey under careful medical supervision. Researchers noted initial effects including agitation and a prolonged sleep-like state, followed by the remarkable functional revival. No brain imaging confirmed structural reversal of Alzheimer’s pathology, and the authors emphasize this is a single case, not evidence of a cure. However, it highlights psilocybin’s potential to promote transient multidomain recovery even in late-stage disease. Broader Context and Implications Alzheimer’s disease currently affects millions worldwide, with limited treatments that slow progression but do little to restore lost abilities in advanced stages. Psychedelics like psilocybin have gained attention for their roles in promoting brain plasticity and treating conditions such as depression and PTSD. This case adds to emerging discussions about their possible applications in neurodegenerative disorders. Experts caution that larger, controlled clinical trials are essential to verify safety, efficacy, optimal dosing, and long-term outcomes. Factors such as individual variability, potential risks in elderly patients, and the need for supervised settings must be addressed. Still, the report fuels optimism that some dementia-related deficits could be more reversible than previously thought. And most importantly, there is a strong reason to test this with loved ones under medical support than not as the prognosis could not be worse. As research into psychedelic medicine expands, this case stands as a compelling call for further investigation into how compounds like psilocybin might one day complement existing Alzheimer’s therapies.

⚡️KRAKEN: CRYPTO IS COMING TO EVERY BANK “Nearly all traditional financial services companies are gonna offer crypto, Bitcoin and Ethereum to their customers,” David Ripley told Axios. The line between TradFi and crypto is disappearing fast.

The Clarity Act passed committee. The floor is next. We did not come this far to quit at the 5 yard line.

One injection, 62% lower LDL - permanently. Gene editing for cholesterol is here. .@cremieuxrecueil is correct. Besides GLP-1 antagonist like Ozempic or, more recently, Retatrutide, this is probably the next breakthrough that is almost impossible to put into words. Verve Therapeutics (Eli Lilly) just published Phase 1 results for VERVE-102 in the NEJM. It's a single-infusion base-editing therapy that inactivates PCSK9 in the liver. At the highest dose, PCSK9 dropped 88% and LDL cholesterol fell 62%. Reductions held for at least a year. 35 patients with familial hypercholesterolemia or premature coronary artery disease. No dose-limiting toxicities. Main side effects: mild infusion reactions and transient liver enzyme elevations. Still Phase 1, still small, no cardiovascular outcome data yet. But the proof of concept for permanent, one-shot LDL reduction via gene editing is real. This is an absolute game changer and im not exaggerting. Elevated LDL cholesterol is responsible for an estimated 4.4 million deaths every year worldwide and remains the single biggest modifiable driver of cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death globally.

why i am so bullish on crypto, in "defense of the ideological"- i recently watched the video of the first public appearance for jensen and elon together, which was at GTC 2015 more than ten years ago. by this time, jensen had already made his iconoclastic bet on parallel graphics processing for over twenty years, and on CUDA since 2006. musk had his hassabis moment in 2012. yet openAI was not yet founded (would be ~9 months later), and GDX-1 would be announced at GTC the following year too this is that narrow window where a revolution is visible to some but not others, in which both of these geniuses had early inklings of recognizing AIs pervasive potential, but the broad public was not yet made aware. it would take another 10 years for it reach mainstream applications of course i broadly think of the crypto industry being the same place today. just as there were brilliant minds who understood the revolution that would come from the GPU paradigm, there was simply no large scale consumer demand that required its objective superiority for decades to come. instead, it was picked up by hobbyists (ie gamers) who enjoyed a sense of self-determination by pushing the boundaries of their passion, tinkering, sharing, and researching. in a rather strange way, gamers subsidized AI's development, just like early defi subsidized the institutional tokenization development. during the GTC 2015 interview, elon tells jensen something interesting: the 0-10 mph autonomous driving is very easy to solve because the car can be stopped. the 50 mph zone is also easy to solve because there are rules of engagements at that speed that dont have as many randomness. the hardest part to solve is actually the 10-50mph, what i call the "the middle game" where a car in an urban setting with bikes, children, cones, manholes, create all kinds of need for precision and speed that sensors today need to develop further. it's fundamentally solvable, but this is the most challenging portion of fulfilling the dreams of autonomous driving this is where crypto is today. the 0-10mph was easy because people can understand why permissionless money is useful from a practical sense to start developing. the 50mph will also be really easy because by that point, onchain capital markets is going to be so obvious that you could never go back with all the benefits of self custody, capital efficiency, money velocity/rest optimizations. but its the 10-50 thats hard, where money in a pre-internet financial infrastructure is hitting AML/KYC, offshore capital conduits, discretionary bank risk models, lagging reporting regimes create all kinds of need of need for precision and speed that institutional infrastructure today needs to develop further. its fundamentally solvable, but this is the most challenging portion of fulfilling the dreams of onchain capital markets i love bitcoin. but contrary to some opinion, i believe its possible to love crypto too, because bitcoin is a monetary experiment enabled by the evolution of technology, while most of crypto is the inverse: a technology experiment enabled by the evolution of money. they are fundamentally solving different problems, though rooted in one ideal: to make its access as much of a public good as possible this is why crypto is going to be such an important force for the future during this "narrow window" for those can can see it. and while most early pioneers got into the game because of the ideology behind decentralization, it's time to admit that the winning ideology is technological financialization: it is hyperfinancialization with elements of decentralization that exports sovereign finance as a public good, decentralizes agentic rails for humanity as a public good, promote self-determination as a public good. this is worth fighting for, and im excited to recommit my focus to these ideals that began my crypto journey. this "middle game" period will be remembered as the most critical juncture for the industry and for anyone who is doubting the industry at this time, i hope reading this helps you reanchor your beliefs for what you are actually fighting for, and more importantly, know that you can play a meaningful part in the revolution too the future belongs to those who recognized it was always ideological

BENJAMIN COWEN WENT FROM NASA AND NUCLEAR ENGINEERING TO OVER 1.1 MILLION FOLLOWERS ANALYZING CRYPTO His advice for surviving a bear market comes down to one line: "The bears sound smart, the bulls make money." He explained the rule he repeats to himself constantly: "It's OK to be a bear in a bear market, and it's OK to be a bull in a bull market. It's not OK to remain a bear in a bull market, and it's not OK to remain a bull in a bear market." Cowen says he's been bearish on Bitcoin since late last year, but he's watching for the moment that flips. shoutout @benjamincowen
