This recently published study looked at ego dissolution associated with the use of psilocybin (as a proxy for the classic hallucinogens). One article is the popular press report and the other is source material. This is interesting because of the noted affects on the frontal cortex. It also looks at downstream changes from alterations of serotonin receptors in the glutamate transmittors. In the context of this forum it is brought to attention because the article highlights 1) many unforeseen neural interactions triggered by psychedelic interventions, 2) highlights the relative safety of properly administrated psychedelics and 3) helps understand some of the long lasting positive "side effects" these molecules may provide. ego and psilocybin.pdf First-of-Its-Kind Study Hints at How Psilocybin Works in The Brain to Dissolve Ego.pdf

BOF, Sorry, but I'm a bit baffled here. I don't see any bully posts, nor have I seen any alerts to such? (I just flipped through the alert history as well). All anyone has to do to get a mod to check in is report a post. All the mods really do a great job responding. J
