"Unveiling the Parallels: A Case Study on Near-Death Experiences and 5-MeO-DMT Induced Psychedelic States"

A case study published in Frontiers in Psychology compared the experiences of a near-death experience (NDE) and an experience induced by the psychedelic drug 5-MeO-DMT. While there were similarities, such as entering other worlds and meeting entities, the study identified unique characteristics in the NDE, such as life review and encounters with deceased entities. The findings contribute to the growing research on psychedelic substances and their therapeutic potential, raising questions about consciousness, altered states, and the role of endogenous compounds. Further research is needed to explore the complex relationships between NDEs, psychedelics, and altered states of consciousness.

5-MeO-DMT induces lasting neural changes in mice.

A study conducted on mice has found that the psychedelic substance 5-MeO-DMT causes a long-lasting increase in the number of dendritic spines in the brain, which are tiny protrusions that play a crucial role in neural plasticity. The study sheds light on the behavioral and neural mechanisms of 5-MeO-DMT, which is found in the Sonoran Desert toad and has unique pharmacological properties. The researchers found that 5-MeO-DMT elicited acute behavioral effects that were more transient than those of psilocybin, consistent with human data.
