DMT, or N,N-dimethyltryptamine, is a powerful and mysterious psychedelic that naturally occurs in the human brain. Despite its intense and bizarre effects, which include visions of hyperdimensional worlds and entities, DMT has not received as much scientific attention as other psychedelics like ketamine, MDMA, and psilocybin. This is partly due to its extreme nature and the surreal experiences it induces, which have kept it on the fringes of the psychedelic research revival.

A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has revealed that N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), one of the most powerful psychedelics known to humankind, causes the brain to become hyperconnected. Researchers witnessed the hierarchical organization of the brain collapse, replaced with a state of global hyper-connectivity. Interestingly, some of the same patterns can be seen in the brains of experienced meditators as they meditate, in people with schizophrenia, and in infants, suggesting that their brains may literally perceive the world differently. According to the researchers, DMT and psychedelics in general make the fabricated nature of reality abundantly clear to those who use them.

Brain scans of individuals injected with DMT, the psychedelic compound found in ayahuasca, reveal a profound impact across the brain, particularly in areas that are highly evolved in humans and instrumental in planning, language, memory, complex decision-making, and imagination. The regions from which we conjure reality become hyperconnected, with communication more chaotic, fluid, and flexible. The ability to make brain activity more fluid and flexible is thought to underpin not only the profound psychedelic experience but the promising results from early clinical trial patients who were given DMT in combination with psychotherapy to treat depression.

A study at Imperial College London has revealed how the potent psychedelic compound DMT (dimethyltryptamine) alters brain function. During the immersive DMT experience, there was increased connectivity across the brain, with more communication between different areas and systems. The changes to brain activity were most prominent in areas linked with “higher level” functions, such as imagination. The study is the first to track brain activity before, during and after the DMT experience in such detail.
