🧠 Want to understand how psychedelics rewire your brain for healing and transformation? Join my free 5-day email course: Rewire Your Brain with Psychedelics → https://rewirewithpsychedelics.com Learn the science behind how psychedelics unlock neuroplasticity, enhance mental health, and create lasting change—broken down in easy to understand and practical lessons. -- This is the first video in my two part series on the serotonin 2A (aka 5-HT2A) receptor - the brain receptor most important for psychedelic drug effects! In this video I go over: the basics of how neurons communicate and what a brain receptor is (0:23) how psychedelics act as if they're serotonin (1:38) how we know that the serotonin 2A receptor is the most important for psychedelic effects (2:18) where this receptor located in the brain (2:55) what happens to the activity of neurons/groups of neurons when this receptor gets activated (4:28) In Part 2 I will be going over theories on what this system might be responsible for (independent of psychedelics drugs), as well as why it might've evolved! Stay tuned for that soon. --- Follow me on Instagram for more content and to keep up with my work!   / thepsychedelicscientist   More info about me: Dr. Manesh Girn is a postdoctoral psychedelic neuroscientist working at the University California San Francisco with pioneering psychedelic researcher Dr. Robin Carhart-Harris.
