N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is a naturally occurring amine and psychedelic compound, found in plants, animals, and humans. While initial studies reported only trace amounts of DMT in mammalian brains, recent findings have identified alternative methylation pathways and DMT levels comparable to classical neurotransmitters in rodent brains, calling for a re-evaluation of its biological role and...

The study examined whether immersive virtual reality (VR) can non-pharmacologically induce psychedelic-like altered states and what predicts their intensity. Fifty-seven adults who had used classic psychedelic within the previous six months completed neutraland psychedelic VR conditions in randomized order. Relative to neutral VR, psychedelic VR elicited higher mystical-type experience...
