February 20, 2017 / LSD, Papers, Personal development, Psychology, Publications, Spirituality / By /

Abstract

LSD induces profound psychedelic effects, including changes in the meaning of percepts. The subjective effects of LSD are fully blocked by a 5-HT2A receptor antagonist. LSD may alter meaningfulness by increasing activity in cortical regions responsible for processing personal attribution.
