About this listen
The discussion delved into the mechanisms of psychedelics, particularly their interaction with serotonin receptors, notably the 5-HT2A receptor. Key researchers like Brian Roth and David Nutt were mentioned. The conversation also explored neuroplasticity, emphasizing that new synapses are not always beneficial and that pruning is crucial. The role of microglia in synaptic pruning and the potential of psychedelics in treating conditions like PTSD and addiction were discussed. The importance of a holistic approach, including diet and environment, was highlighted, contrasting modern Western science with traditional shamanic practices. The need for vulnerability and trust in therapeutic settings was also emphasized.
