Wooot, this amazing book was just delivered to my bed 10 minutes ago and from the first pages I realized the this is the most advanced and detailed knowledge on the actual mechanics of Psychodelics and brain states changing so far. None of the Shulgins and Hoffmans brilliant masterpieces were even close to this from the perspective of Neuroscience.

Can psychedelic drugs boost work performance and well-being?
"Psychedelics can also solve for frequent workplace issues, like:
Low energy or passion for work
Imposter syndrome
Stress, burnout, and moral injury
Perfectionism
Self-awareness
Procrastination"
What's interesting is that as you can see they are not boosting something but rather solving some issue that prevents us doing what we should do.

Terran Biosciences announces publication of PCT patent applications covering orally active forms of DMT and 5-MeO-DMT and long-acting MDMA
DMT has traditionally been taken in combination with a monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor to help reduce this metabolic breakdown, however, this approach is difficult to translate to widespread clinical use as it can be associated with side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and changes in blood pressure.
Terran's unique prodrugs are novel compounds that are designed to be given as a single oral dose, avoid first pass metabolism, and then breakdown in order to release high levels of the original active molecule in the brain

Receptor Location Matters for Psychedelic Drug Effects - Neuroscience News
There are so many things to discover 🤩
"Olson and colleagues experimented with chemically tweaking drugs and using transporters to make it easier or harder for compounds to slip across cell membranes. Serotonin itself is polar, meaning it dissolves well in water but does not easily cross the lipid membranes that surround cells. The psychedelics, on the other hand, are much less polar and can easily enter the interior of a cell"

Lipophilicity helps explain psychedelic drugs’ therapeutic effects | Research | Chemistry World
One more article about the recent research on internal serotonin receptors activated by Psychodelics👌
"He suggests that an ‘obvious candidate’ would be endogenous psychedelics. These are psychedelic drug-like compounds, like DMT, that are produced naturally in mammals, and whose purpose remains something of a mystery. According to Olson, it’s possible that these molecules might play a more important biological role than is currently realised."

"I am reminded, moreover, of the late Walter Freeman’s conception of consciousness as arising through discontinuous whole-hemisphere states of coherence succeeding one another at a “frame rate” of 6 Hz to 10Hz – something I discuss in “Ayahuasca Variations” (2003). It’s the whole hemisphere aspect that’s striking (and somewhat mysterious) given the complex connectivity across many scales and the relatively slow speed of neural conduction."

It then classifies the signals and indicates whether they herald an impending epileptic seizure or Parkinsonian tremor, for example. If a symptom is detected, a neurostimulator – also located on the chip – is activated, sending an electrical pulse to block it."
