I won't talk about Lion's Mane specifically, but there is a ton of science about things that induce neurotrophic growth factor, which some claim Lion's Mane to do, and research in concussions, depression, and Alzheimer's disease/dementia. These drugs are for the most part pretty new and quite expensive. Interestingly a lot of them are NMDA agonists, which... a drug you have heard of that works on that receptor is Ketamine, which has become popular for depression - leading a divergence of theories for why it works for depression - the most common being there is some therapeutic value in the dissociative state/"hallucinations", while a minority have claimed that it's actually the NMDA agonist property that is triggering neurotropic growth factor to repair brain damage, and the disassociation is a side effect.

You say all of these things and claim "there is a ton of science", but I ask for scholarly links to learn more. I don't trust anyone's word at face value on empirical topics, and I also don't know where to begin looking. "There are studies related to this out on PubMed." Show me! Phrases like this annoy me greatly.

You posted links earlier, which suffices.
