Sometimes our memories embrace us; other times, they hold us back. They carry traumas, fears, and pains that make us repeat paths already taken, as if the brain were on autopilot. Neurologist Lucas Cury believes that understanding and renewing these memories is the key not only to treating depression but also to addressing neurological diseases that challenge our quality of life. With science, empathy, and innovation, he shows that it is possible to reframe the past and open doors to new experiences.

Memory, neuroplasticity, and the brain's “autopilot”

For Dr. Lucas Cury, memory goes far beyond recalling facts: it shapes emotions, habits, and behaviors. “A good memory is not only the one that remembers but also the one that forgets,” he explains. The brain creates patterns that repeat negative experiences, imprisoning the individual in a cycle of fear and anxiety. This “autopilot” hinders adaptation and learning, directly affecting those facing neurological diseases.

How psychedelics help in the treatment of neurological diseases

Neuroplasticity - the brain's ability to reorganize and create new connections - can be stimulated by psychedelics and medical cannabis. “Psychedelics pave the way to explore other sensations, allowing the forgetting of negative patterns and the absorption of the new. It's like a puppy that, once confined to a room, starts exploring the whole house,” Dr. Cury compares.

Despite the potential, medical supervision is essential when it comes to neurological diseases. “They open doors, but a professional is needed to guide through the maze of depression and find exits that we cannot see alone,” he warns.

Neuroplasticity connects the past to the present, allowing the brain to create new pathways and learn to deal with emotions differently. Reframing old memories is essential to treat not only depression but also neurological diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, epilepsy, and multiple sclerosis. “Learning when old is reframing our consolidations. But a body without affection is full of ammunition to fight and not absorb,” emphasizes the specialist.

Medical cannabis as an ally in brain health

The use of psychedelics and medical cannabis, always accompanied by qualified professionals, shows that it is possible to revolutionize the brain, break cycles of suffering, and reframe experiences. For those facing neurological diseases, this approach represents an opportunity to reconnect body, mind, and memory, transforming not only symptoms but the very experience of life.

According to the doctor, personalized treatments with medical cannabis have shown results in neuropathic pain, sleep disorders, autism, and other neurological diseases. “My mission is focused on quality of life and patient renewal, starting with memory,” he concludes.
