The effects of psychedelics on neuroplasticity appear to be dependent on serotonin 5-HT 2A receptor activation, as they are abolished in 5-HT 2A receptor knockout mice.

Neuroplasticity is the process by which neurons adapt to a disturbance over time, and most often occurs in response to repeated exposure to stimuli. [27] Aerobic exercise increases the production of neurotrophic factors [note 1] (e.g., BDNF, IGF-1, VEGF) which mediate improvements in cognitive functions and various forms of memory by promoting blood vessel formation in the brain, adult ...
