Researchers at the University of California demonstrated in the experiment that drugs such as LSD and MDMA forbidden in many countries have "the effect of reconnecting the brain" beyond the dosage period. The results of this study show that LSD and MDMAMental disorder (heart disease)It can be used as a next generation treatment method of the age of 2018, it seems that there is a possibility that it will be safer and higher effect than the method taken in 2018.

To date,Dimethyltryptamine(DMT) on the effect of the substance announced that the rat overcomes the fear of electric shock. According to the research team, DMT increases the number of dendrites extending from neurons in rat brain. Dendrites convey electrical stimulation from one neuron to another nerve cell, supporting the activity of the brain. And it is also known that people suffering from mental disorders degenerate the function of dendrites.

According to David Olson who studied, "One of the major features of people with depression is in the axon of the prefrontal cortex, the prefrontal cortex is the part that controls things like emotion, mood, anxiety, but depression People with sickness are stretching axons here. " Such brain changes are caused by PTSD, anxiety, addiction, and reconnecting brain cells is thought to lead to problem solving.

In a new research published at Cell Reports, it is included in DMT and Magic MushroomTryptamineAnd included in LSD and MDMAamphetamineExperiments are being conducted on. When these substances were administered to human brain cells, rats, flies etc. within the research facility, it was said that the connection of the brain was uniformly improved. Compared with ketamine which is attracting attention as a remedy for depression, it was also found that many chemical substances have the same or better effect than ketamine.

Ketamine's nasal spray is in the stage of clinical trials as soon as it is effective for depression patients who have a suicidal desire which had no effect in other treatments. However, on the other hand, there is a need to consider the possibility of abuse and the risk of causing other psychosis.

Olson said, "The immediate effect and plasticity of ketamine for mood is shocking, the big question we are working on is whether other chemicals can be substituted for ketamine," he said. Mr. Olson said this research is the first time that the hypothesis that such drugs change the structure of neurons was clearly demonstrated.

The effectiveness of medical cannabis as well as LSD has been drawing attention in recent years, and on 12 June 2018, a 12-year-old boy, Billy Caldwell confiscated medical cannabis at the airport It is said that you are suffering from seizuresIt is reported.
