Breakthrough in psychedelic science!🍄( Vargas et al., Science, 2023) This paper - just published in the prestigious journal Science - reveals that psychedelic compounds like LSD, psilocybin, and DMT act on receptors INSIDE of cells, rather than on the external membrane. A truly remarkable discovery, and an impressive paper! #psychedelics #psilocybin #DMT #LSD #UCDavis #science #neuroscience #research #serotonin #2a #receptor #cell #neuron #cellular
