**psychedelic with prisms and gold. COCA of a tree growing out of the top of a pyramid? Well I’m listening to this Huberman episode about Psilocybin and apparently the most documented molecular effect of psilocybin is through the setatonin 2a receptor. There is a type of neuron in the brain called Pyramidal Neuron (or cell). The cell body (containing DNA) is shaped like a pyramid and they have something called dendrites, one of which (the apical) uniquely grows upward and out into layers of neural tissue above them. And at the top it branches out so they can communicate with other neurons in their environment. Much of the serotonin 2a receptors that are present on neurons in the brain are present in those apical dendrites of the pyramidal neurons. When a person is under the influence of psilocybin, the psilocin (which is the component of psilocin that interacts with the receptors) has bound to the receptors on those apical dendrites and it increases lateral communication across brain areas. This is apparently what shifts the brain from a more segmented communication arrangement to one where all the pyramidal neurons are able to interact more as an integrated whole across what would otherwise be separate brain regions. So there is your DNA unzipping from and thereby activating the neuron cells on a new and upgraded level. And that’s just what we’ve observed that we are able to observe. But that’s the tree growing out of the top of the pyramid 🤯💫 --v 5.2** - Image #4 <@991155021892821102>
