Thomas Ray – Mental Organs And The Breadth And Depth Of Consciousness
Synthesis of molecular affinity with subjective experience data for twenty-two psychedelic drugs suggests: Selective serotonin agonists are not psychedelic in any conventional sense. Modulatory receptors define “mental organs” (populations of neurons expressing a specific receptor). Various specific psychedelic subjective effects emerge from various mental organs. The psychedelic mechanism of 5-HT2 is that it holds other mental organs in consciousness. The conscious space is provided by 5-HT7. 5-HT2 gives shape to consciousness, in part by holding content mental organs in consciousness. The ego is lost when 5-HT2 lacks the strength to shape 5-HT7. Consciousness expands in breadth when 5-HT2 brings more mental organs into consciousness; and in depth (resolution, subtlety, nuance, complexity, tangibility, vividness, and capacity; to render thought, feelings, and sensory input) when 5-HT7 is increasingly activated. Increase of depth is responsible for the most dramatic effects of psychedelic drugs: open-eyed creative visuals, ego-loss, and loss of contact with reality.

Where to find more of this fine gentleman research?
Shulgin 2016? He died in 2014
Links in the YouTube description would be great. Great info packed presentation. Not a fan of the analogy used it kinda got out of hand. But great presentation. So if you block 2A with an antagonist it would mean no ego dissolution for psilocybin and DMT.
Can someone translate this for dumbdumb?

These speakers deserve more time
MDMA hits 5ht1a thats where the OXTR prosocial effects come from so that chart is wrong
amazing,…. now check out CB3,and CB4
]
Spectacular
Absolutely brilliant.
would a nasal decongestant dose of Oxymetazoline be effective in turning on midazoline receptors during a psychedelic experience you think?
I cum through me eyes when trip.
mind=blown.
This is such a revolutionary presentation! Im curious, since cannabis has a similair effect on the brain to DMT, but missing the serotonin receptor effects, does smoking weed with LSD for example produce DMT type of effects? In my experience it does.
An error in the abstract: "Selective serotonin agonists are not psychedelic in any conventional sense" should read "Selective serotonin-2 agonists are not psychedelic in any conventional sense"

My favorite talk. This is stacked with information.
