A groundbreaking study has shown that LSD can improve social interaction between autistic dogs and their human companions by synchronizing their brainwaves. Researchers observed that the drug enhanced attention and joint attention, key components of social interaction.
A new study reveals that while LSD dosage is a primary driver of its effects, individual differences in mood, personality, and prior psychedelic experience significantly influence the experience. The study underscores the importance of tailoring psychedelic therapies to individual needs.
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.
