| anyone know anything on the effects of acid and/or mushrooms on the brain? it's for a school project. |

| no one knows for sure exactly how lsd/mushrooms interacts with the brain to cause its effects
"MECHANISM OF ACTION
The biochemical mechanism of hallucinogenic drugs is unknown, but probably involves a complex stimulation of serotonin, dopamine and tryptamine receptors, from the cortex to the spinal cord. Some of the best studies involve agonistic actions at presynaptic receptors for 5-HT (serotonin) in the mid-brain. An earlier view that the subjective effects of LSD were due to blockade of 5-HT, now seems unlikely, since these neurons continued to fire even after being bathed in LSD (Jaffe 1985).
There are at least two distinct receptors for 5-HT in the CNS, i.e., 5-HT1 and 5-HT2. Heym et al (1984) have demonstrated that the behavioral and possibly the psychoactive effects of the hallucinogens appear to be attributable to an action at 5-HT2 receptors presumably located postsynaptically. Haloperidol, which can block the hallucinogenic actions of LSD and mescaline, has a 400-fold greater affinity for the 5-HT2 receptor than the 5-HT1 receptor (Peroutka and Snyder 1983)."

Unless you have a background in neurochemistry, the above will likely be as meaningless to you as it is to me. |
