Psychedelics show great promise for treating Central Nervous System (CNS) disorders but are limited by side effects like hallucinations. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations offer atomic-level insights into receptor interactions, helping to overcome these challenges and guide the development of safer, more effective psychedelic-based therapies. This perspective reviews how MD simulations provide...
Psychedelics including psilocybin, dimethyltryptamine, and lysergic acid diethylamide are known to disrupt the normal flow of time perception, for example, producing time dilation, compression, and loss of time. These temporal anomalies provide interesting clues about how the brain processes time, what consciousness is, and what produces the sense of self. This opinion article discusses the...
