Dopamine neurons—the cells that drive reward & motivation while we’re awake—become surprisingly active during nonrapid eye movement sleep right after we learn something new

A new study shows psilocybin reshapes brain circuits linked to depression by weakening rigid cortico-cortical loops that trap people in negative thinking and strengthening sensory-motor pathways that help restore cognitive flexibility.
