The psychedelic DMT causes the brain to become hyperconnected, scans reveal​

A new study provides the most detailed look at brains on psychedelics to date.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • They witnessed the brain's business-like hierarchical organization collapse, replaced with a state of global hyperconnectivity. Brain entropy, defined as "the number of neural states a given brain can access," skyrocketed.
