How does LSD do *that* to your brain?
In: Biology
LSD functions primarily through the neurotransmitter serotonin, and to a lesser extent dopamine. Serotonin is an important neurotransmitter that, among other things, regulates mood, cognition, and memory, and triggers feelings of well-being and happiness. It’s unclear exactly how LSD works on the serotonin receptors in the brain, but it’s believed to excite areas responsible for though and consciousness, and block parts of the brain that suppress extraneous sensory processing.
