In this video nugget, Stuart Hameroff discusses the effects of psychedelics on the brain. He explains that psychedelics, such as LSD and psilocybin, work by affecting the serotonin receptors in the brain, leading to altered states of consciousness. Hameroff goes on to discuss how psychedelics can induce mystical experiences and have been used in therapy to treat conditions such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD. He also touches on the potential of psychedelics to enhance creativity and open up new perspectives on the nature of reality. Overall, Hameroff highlights the complex and intriguing ways in which psychedelics interact with the brain and suggests that further research in this area could lead to new breakthroughs in mental health treatment and our understanding of consciousness.Please follow and like us:
