“In recent years, a handful of scientists have begun seriously investigating the use of psychedelic drugs like LSD as a way of treating mental disorders like anxiety, depression, or PTSD. And yet no study has ever captured what, exactly, it is that LSD is actually doing to the brains of the people who take it. What does a brain on LSD look like?
This week, scientists have a first attempt at an answer. A study published Monday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, led by neuroscientist Robin Carhart-Harris at Imperial College London, used brain-imaging technology to create images — the first of their kind — of human brains on LSD. The gist of the results is perhaps not so surprising: The regions of the brain associated with vision were more active when the participants were on LSD, a finding the researchers believe may explain some of the hallucinations people typically experience after taking the drug.”
