Communications biology – March 11, 2025
Summary
Psychedelics can rapidly alter brain dynamics, creating heightened states of awareness. In a study with 15 participants, researchers simulated brain activity during DMT exposure, revealing a temporary surge in reactivity, especially in areas tied to perception and cognition.
