The title of that video is a little sensationalist, while evidence is beginning to mount that magic mushrooms can aid cell regrowth it's still too early in the research to draw any conclusions. The research does show that mushrooms can help with PTSD recovery. As someone who's done a shit ton of mushrooms I would agree with that assessment, they are very good for working through all sorts of emotional stress and pain. I can only laugh when people say you shouldn't do hallucinogens unless you're in a very good place in your life. I don't believe this naive perspective is shared by many in the explorer community though I did have a conversation with someone of that opinion recently so I figure I might as well share. But I suppose the discussion of when someone should do shrooms would belong in IS.

The researchers hope to find shrooms can be utilized to increase memory and solve an assortment of neurological disorders. I don't share this opinion, I believe that it'd be great for PTSD, as well as therapy in general, and it may even be used to solve addiction and an assortment of psychological disorders but I'm skeptical that it promotes neurogenesis to the extent that it could help people with dementia. Like I said though, they're still in a very early stage of research and the results may be surprising.
