This is a long read. Totally worth it. I have been reading about psychedelics in the past few years and the brain science that is catching up to what LSD and psylocibin users have been saying since the 1960’s.
Michael Polan’s work “How to Change Your Mind” also speaks to this rich history. Here, the article describes how a ‘critical period’ of learning in the youthful brain in mice, which closes and makes the adult mouse untrainable, can be ‘re-opened’ with psychedelics.
Wat.
I found this a very hopeful avenue of research for our mental health future.
