Psychedelics expert Dr Robin Carhart-Harris on what exactly happens to the brain on a trip

Ғылым және технология

Dr. Robin Carhart-Harris, Director of the Centre for Psychedelic Research at Imperial College London, explains the chemical processes that occur in the brain during a psychedelic trip in this sample from the Idler Online Course, "The Science of Psychedelics".
ABOUT THE COURSE
Join Dr Robin Carhart-Harris, Head of the Centre for Psychedelic Research at Imperial College London, as he takes you on a trip through the science of psychedelics.
In six lectures, beginning with a lesson on how psychedelic substances work in the brain, you’ll be guided through the past and present of psychedelic research. On the way, you’ll celebrate “Bicycle Day”, see how scientists are using cutting-edge brain-scanning techniques to understand what happens when we trip, and get up to date on the latest breakthroughs in the use of psychedelic substances like psilocybin to treat depression and other conditions.
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to tell psilocybin from DMT and mescaline from LSD, you’ll understand the chemical processes that trigger a trip, and you’ll be an expert in the contemporary arguments over legalisation.

    Dr Carthart-Harris gives a very interesting and informative explanation about how psychedelics work in the brain. I think it is very important to explain psychedelics in a scientific context; all too often the spiritual language of the 60's can alienate a lot of people and represent psychedelics as pseudo science. Both ways of speaking about the subject are important, but I hope the language stays balanced and grounded at this pivotal time.

    I have no experience with DMT but have read Dr. Strassman's book and have been fascinated by the "entity" contacts so often reported. In my research i came across a study which demonstrated that DMT had protective qualities for cells in a hypoxic state (low O2). This and the ineffable quality of reported experiences along with the themes of "we are glad you are here" or "we have so much to teach you" that show up with entities in so many reports suggest that endogenous DMT is related to birth and not death. The neuroprotective quality against hypoxia would be very useful as a newborn passes through the birth canal. The "entities" that are so hard to describe in words may very well be vivid pre-verbal memories of our caregivers from early infancy triggered by DMT. So we may have all been flooded with DMT at birth, and the residual bits are from that breakdown over time in our earliest years. Just a theory that makes sense to me.

    This is such a nice change from the amateurish content on psychedelics that populate most of the internet. I've no problem with psychedelic enthusiasts (In some ways, I admire them in fact.) However, they aren't necessarily the best people to take advice from if you want to understand what is actually happening in the brain or how exactly psychedelics might interact with your own brain whether you are non-neurotypical, mentally ill, or otherwise "differently wired." I think I would rather enjoy a long conversation with Dr. Carhart-Harris, though my Ph.D. is in the humanities and my interest in psychedelics is a vague mix of intellectual, historical and personal. I quite admire his approach and his clarity. I would add that he does have the perfect voice should he ever wish to be a "trip-sitting" guide in a psychedelic therapy session. Incredible soothing and calm voice.

    Je fais des dépressions depuis 50 ans et ce à tous les 2 ans. La sérotonine présente dans l'intestin ne doit pas faire correctement son activité car j'ai des diarrhées liquide , en eau, depuis des dizaines d'année. De plus , je ne possède pas l'isoenzyme 2D6 du cytochrome P450, ce 2 D6 étant responsable de la métabolisation des médicaments de psychiatrie. J'ai subi une opération d'urgence (péritonite appendicitaire en 2016 et plus rien ne va depuis ce temps. Je dors environ 10 heures par semaine, je suis devenue zombie. Mon corps est épuisé. Croyez-vous que la psylocibin me serait conseillée? J'aimerais avoir une réponse. J'en suis rendue à ma troisième tentative de suicide tellement je ne comprends plus mon cerveau. Aucun somnifère ne fonctionne pour moi. J'ai essayé tous les antidépresseurs et tous les somnifères, rien n'y fait. Est-ce que la psylocibine est métabolisée par le 2D6 ? Est-ce que mon cerveau peut se réparer après tant d'années en dépression profonde et d'insomnie très grave ? Je suis inquiète, j'ai l'impression de devenir Alzheimer. Je crois être devenue électrosensible suite à l'opération. Dans la littérature sur l'électrosensibilité, il est mentionné que celle-ci peut se développer après une intervention chirurgicale. Merci de votre attention.

    The additional evidence of neural plasticity of the serotonin would increase my suspicion that during that PTSD experience, it’s creating néw connections which are being added to the brain. The ptsd experience can not fit normal networks. The 2a creates new fast networks to store the trauma It would also make sense why the psychedelics are so healing for trauma because they are going to the same connection to now heal ??
