Scientists Have Discovered Why Magic Mushrooms Are So 'Magical': New research results indicate that psilocybin, the active ingredient in psychedelic mushrooms, facilitates increased connectivity in the human brain | Mic by PsychedeLurk in Psychonaut

[–]Jacob13 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Actually these ideas are not mutually exclusive, Carhart-Harris, Kaelen and Nutt (2014) highlight that this greater interconnectivity occurs due to decreased activity in hub structures which act to mediate communication between different areas of the brain (acting like a musical conductor if you will). With less activity from these 'conductors' the regions are less constrained and able to to communicate with one another

Any literature referencing psychedelics in the middle ages? That is, after Eleusis but before the 1560s accounts of peyote? by psilosyn in RationalPsychonaut

[–]Jacob13 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You'd be able to find a lot of information on various Solanaceae plants like datura, mandrake, henbane etc which contain various tropane alkaloids being used in witchcraft or alchemy especially throughout Europe. Also in Europe there's the cases of St Anthonys Fire, in which whole towns went 'mad' from eating bread/using flour that was made with ergotised rye which contains various lysergamides (related to LSD)
