The links between DMT and Deja Vu
Ah, DMT, the world's strongest psychadelic, now scientificly proven to make you feel like you've been somewhere before. Who knew that a trip to an alternate reality could feel so familliar? Maybe it's just the brain returning to 'normal,' or perhaps we're all just tapping into an objective reality beyond our own. Either way, it's comforting to know that 22% of people feel like they're going home. The answer to this question might really give us an interesting insights on how our brain works.

How does Ketamine work⁉️
Ketamine turning on the module of the brain responsible for alerting about unusual activity so that you became constantly in a mood to learn about everything. You might see a super usual thing but and you start learning everything about it and later remember since your neuroplasticity is also turned on. This part is done by targeting manipulating NMDA to which Ketamine is binding.
Now another thing which is even more important that it binds to Kappa opioid receptors which requce pain and elevate mood.
So as a result of this combination you not only turning on your curiosity mechanism but you making it pleasant experience and your brain saving this feeling and experience for later.
Since an important part of a depression is simply a lack of interest in exploring new things Guess how Ketamine are helping here. ;)
It might be oversimplified, but if you want to know all the details, guess who posted this new Ketamine episode 🤓

https://medicalxpress.com/news/2023-08-exploring-brain-psychedelics-meditating-hypnosis.html
Brainy folks over at the University of Zurich's Psychiatric Hospital decided to explore what happens in the ol' noggin when you're tripping on psychedelics, meditating, or hypnotized.
They took a bunch of people, gave 'em some psilocybin and LSD, and threw in some meditation and hypnosis to spice things up. Then they stuck 'em in an MRI scanner to see what their brains were up to. I mean, who wouldn't want to know what their brain's doing while they're seeing unicorns and talking to their inner guru?
Now, here's the best quote from the article, "Our findings showed that even though psilocybin, LSD, meditation, and hypnosis induce overlapping subjective effects, the underlying brain changes are distinct." In other words, it might feel the same, but your brain's doing a whole different dance depending on whether you're tripping, meditating, or hypnotized.
Scientific analysis of this study reveals a nuanced understanding of altered states of consciousness. The data suggests a potential synergy in therapeutic effects, with a marked difference in brain activity between these states.

Tripping Rats reveal consciousness secrets 🐀
Yet another scientists wanted to understand how consciousness works, and they figured, "Hey, why not use psychedelics to study the neural basis of consciousness?" Makes sense, right? I mean, who wouldn't want to see a rat tripping balls?
They hooked up electrodes to these rats' brains and found something wild. Both LSD and ketamine created this crazy synchronized wave pattern in the brain, oscillating 150 times per second.
"It suggests that consciousness relies on a coupled collective state rather than the activity of individual neurons – it is greater than the sum of its parts." Profound, ain't it?
This research indicates a possible link between neuron-level system dynamics and consciousness. The synchronized wave phenomenon may be strongly linked to the psychedelic state, providing insights into how information is integrated across neural systems.
"Likely, this hypersynchrony has major effects on the integration of information across neuronal systems and we propose that it is a key contributor to changes in perception and cognition during psychedelic drug use. Potentially, similar mechanisms could induce hallucinations and delusions in psychotic disorders and would constitute promising targets for new antipsychotic treatments."
Predictively, this could pave the way for understanding consciousness at a deeper level, though human studies are needed to confirm these findings.

There's this first-ever clinical trial, funded by the big shots at Imperial College London, that's diving deep into whether psilocybin can treat gambling addiction. And guess what? They're not just pulling this out of thin air. Previous studies have shown that psilocybin can help reduce alcohol and nicotine addiction, a 2022 study revealed a 51% reduction in heavy drinking among participants who received psilocybin.
From my silly point of view it's obvious that any addiction can be fixed by Psychedelics but great to see a particular research study on this new use-case.

The biology is Math 🔥
You know the Fibonacci sequence, right? It's that series of numbers where you add the last two to get the next one. Turns out, nature's got these patterns everywhere, like in pinecones and sunflowers.
This genius from Oxford, Ard Louis, and his team were super curious about mutations. You know, those tiny changes in our genes that can sometimes make a big difference? Some of these changes can be good, bad, or just...meh. But here's the kicker: these "meh" mutations, even though they don't seem to do much, are like nature's way of keeping track of evolution.
A key concept explored was mutational robustness, which refers to an organism's ability to tolerate mutations while retaining its characteristic traits. This robustness fosters genetic diversity and varies across species. Remarkably, proteins can endure approximately 66% of random errors in their coding sequences without altering their final structure.
To delve deeper, the researchers examined protein folding and RNA structures to understand how specific genetic sequences translate to distinct traits. Their numerical simulations revealed that nature could potentially reach the pinnacle of mutational robustness. Astonishingly, the maximum robustness exhibited a fractal pattern known as the Blancmange curve and was linked to a fundamental concept in number theory: the sum-of-digits fraction.
Vaibhav Mohanty of Harvard Medical School noted that nature seems to achieve the exact maximum robustness in some cases, hinting at biology's inherent understanding of the fractal sum-of-digits function. This study reaffirms the indispensable role of mathematics in shaping the natural world, even at microscopic scales.

Bad trip? Here is the solution 😁
Harry Shapiro, director of Drugwise, emphasizes the significant potential of psychedelics as psychotherapeutic tools, especially when traditional antidepressants fail. However, the power of these hallucinogenic compounds cannot be underestimated, and there's always a risk of a "bad trip." Symptoms of a bad trip can range from panic, depression, confusion, to intense hallucinations. To mitigate these risks:
Preparation is Key: Ensure the right dose, set (internal mindset), and setting (external environment). The right music can also enhance the experience.
Handling a Bad Trip: If things go south, don't panic. Remember it's temporary. Communicate with a trusted individual or seek professional help if needed.
Transforming a Bad Trip: From a shamanic perspective, challenging experiences are part of the journey and can lead to profound insights and growth.
Understanding Bad Trips: They can occur unpredictably, much like life's ups and downs. The focus should be on deriving meaning from them.

Unlearning in AI and EMDR: Conceptual Parallels and Distinctions
The technique described by Microsoft researchers to make AI "forget" copyrighted material, conceptually intriguing. The method bears a resemblance to the therapeutic approach of EMDR, a recognized treatment for trauma.
Conceptual Similarities:
Targeted Erasure: Just as the researchers aim to erase specific knowledge (e.g., Harry Potter content) from the AI model, EMDR targets specific traumatic memories in patients, aiming to desensitize their emotional charge.
Fine-tuning: The AI technique involves fine-tuning the model to effectively erase specific content. Similarly, EMDR involves a structured eight-phase approach, where the therapist fine-tunes the process based on the patient's responses.
Adaptability: The AI's ability to adapt and "unlearn" mirrors the brain's plasticity, where neural pathways can be restructured, especially when traumatic memories are reprocessed in EMDR.
Differences:
Mechanism: While the AI technique employs a three-part method involving training on target data, replacing unique expressions, and fine-tuning on alternative predictions, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (often in the form of guided eye movements) to help patients process traumatic memories.
Objective: The primary goal for AI is to ensure copyright compliance and adaptability. In contrast, EMDR aims to alleviate distress from traumatic memories and promote psychological healing.
Complexity: Human emotions and memories are multifaceted, with deep-rooted connections to various life experiences. AI models, although complex, operate on data and algorithms without the emotional depth inherent in human cognition.
In conclusion, while the conceptual framework of "unlearning" or "forgetting" is present in both the AI technique and EMDR, the underlying mechanisms, objectives, and complexities differ. It's fascinating to observe how principles of neuroscience and psychology can find echoes in the realm of artificial intelligence.
