New research using brain scans suggests that we actively control how our brains segment daily memories, much like movie scenes. The study shows that our own attention and goals, not just changes in our environment, influence how we remember events.

A recent study published in Heliyon explores the potential therapeutic applications of LSD, revealing its impact on brain regions associated with pain processing. The research, conducted by Hamid Sharini and his team at Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences, utilized fMRI to analyze brain activity in healthy volunteers under the influence of LSD. The findings suggest that LSD alters pain perception by reducing activity in pain-processing regions and disrupting connectivity patterns between brain areas involved in the emotional and cognitive aspects of pain. While promising, further research is needed to understand the long-term implications and potential benefits of LSD for pain management.
