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
  • Researchers gave 20 healthy subjects potent, intravenous doses of the psychedelic DMT and observed their brains with both functional MRI and electroencephalography.
  • 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.
