The Neuroscience Behind Psychedelics with Top Neuroscientist Professor Robin Carhart-Harris

Leading neuroscientist Professor Robin Carhart-Harris takes us on an enlightening journey into the world of psychedelics and their effects on the brain. Discover how such drugs activate serotonin receptors-leading to profound changes in perception and consciousness-along with their long-term effects on the brain's structure and function and potential to enhance brain plasticity.

robin always seems a bit nervous during interviews yet slouches like the chillest person on earth. i love this guy

[@danieljoel7326]

Dr Carhart Harris, and team, thank you for your consistent arduous work and articulating this consistently for everybody in the health and healing professions to affect patients and sufferers worldwide. You are heralded for you inspiring work in the field and gratitude is plentiful (from Ridgewood, Queens, NYC)

[@carolneary1740]

I just love and admire Robin Carhart-Harris and the great work he is doing .

[@Yer_Da_]

I think this is my favourite interview/discussion/presentation with Robin so far - great job, everyone! This is probably the most approachable delivery of his work that I've seen - very shareable with people that might be doubtful or concerned about such compounds.

I've been diagnosed with major depressive disorder, eating disorder and anxiety. I've dosed on psilocybin mushrooms and they helped my depression 3 months the first time, 4 months the second time and it was NOWHERE near a "heroic dose". I self dosed on LSD (unknown dose because the legal route isn't available) for my binge eating and lost 65 pounds in 8 months, healthy. Yes, I've gained 20 back but it hasn't been my usual gaining it ALL back! Professor Carhart-Harris, if you ever want to test on binge eating on a morbidly obese person, "I volunteer as tribute!" 🤚 I would LOVE to have a therapist on stand-by as I am on a psychedelic journey to help my issues. I LOVE my therapist and wish he could legally walk me through a journey. I believe in the healing of psychedelics so much that at the age 55, I've started the process of going back to college and earning my degree in Psychology so I can hopefully start my path of becoming a Psychedelic Assisted Therapist. 33:19 LOVE Gabor Maté and his Hungry Ghosts book as well as The Myth of Normal.

Well done. I'm 37 and gave up a career as a Network Engineer (IT) - doing my first year of university - attempting to complete a degree in medical science so I can become an "authority" and influence the world... hoping to heal humanity's consciousness and save the planet from humanity's self destruction.

The brain revealing itself to itself. Yes!

[@vivtodd2473]

Great to know this is being realised. Shame that at the same time modern food sources and processed foods have been called out as brain and health destroyers…and being pushed/marketed it respectively.

[@stephensnowdon5633]

Awesome 👍

[@PUNKMYVIDEO]

Let's make LSD great again. Kid tested. Mother approved! 😉👍🍄

[@boolacalaca]

It's nice seeing the scientists finally coming around to what shamans have known for thousands of years -- and of course the scientists will now take credit for "discovering" it because they assigned to it their technical jargon. 😆

It feels amazing to know about psychedelics all thanks to this online store I was able to get some mushrooms and they got some lsd gummies cannabis xtc and another stuffs

[@Sophia-mn5mb]

phramtrip++

[@kpllc4209]

Religions and Shaman had no idea what they were playing with.. to them it was woo woo

[@brandonorozco6192]

What Gabor Mate book did Dr. Carhart-Harris reference?

[@user-iz2ve3cc9k]

The realms of hungry ghosts perhaps (related to drug addictions). There is also his latest book, “the myth of normal” and “the body says no”…. Connection between stress and disease. Dr. Gabor Mate also has an online self study/ long 1 year programme called “compassionate inquiry”. Recommend to all without hesitation 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@CiscoZero]

Intro was rough. Not readdddyyyyy!!!!

[@Lito_419]

Haha no lie as someone with bad public speaking fears I felt that tremble in my soul

[@stevewahls8434]

So magic mushrooms aren’t magic but consciousness for all modern evidence so far is?

[@GraczPierwszy]

artificial intelligence will explain everything to you, respect+position+trust or you're fucked

[@gratefulkm]

The only thing that matters is how we FEEL The sound language and thinking reality is utterly meaningless and nothing lasts the only thing that lasts is FEELINGS And AI cant FEEL anything at all so its worthless totally By your words I can tell you imagine in your imagianry imagination otherwise known as the left PFC That you imagine that FEELINGS exist in the cortices You couldn't be more wrong only imaginary feelings exist in the cortices and they are not real at all , you know the feelings based around concepts and construction and delusions Now how scared the bubble you imagine in and how that affects the things you imagine that's a whole other story One that the Abrahamics deliberately did not want you to ever get taught So they called the part of the brain that controls how you FEEL the devil and anyone who knows anything about the lower brain and the horns of the beast as a devil worshipper I mean come on, breeding humans that know nothing about their lower brain and pretending it does not exist, WOW !!! ! So the truth is Cain (cortex) never killed Able (Amygdala) this means Able is in really bad way , as our society proves
