你看，人体从裸盖菇素中剥离一个磷酸盐分子形成另一种叫做裸盖菇素的分子。

Narrator: When you take psilocybin, your gut converts it into another chemical, known as psilocin, which binds to serotonin receptors called 2A, and experts think that's what triggers what they call neuronal avalanching.

旁白: 当你服用裸盖菇素时, 你的肠道会将其转化为另一种化学物质, 称为裸盖菇素, 它与称为2A的5-羟色胺受体结合, 专家认为这就是引发他们称之为神经元雪崩的原因。

And it's psilocin that actually sends people on a trip because it binds to one of the same receptors as serotonin, which is the molecule involved in things from sleep and blood pressure to mood regulation and depression.
