between serotonin in the gut, serotonin in our food, to depression and gut function.
You know serotonin by anti-depressant drugs today, they always are trying to raise serotonin levels in the brain.
So psilocybin effects serotonin , but then serotonin affects the glutamate system.
And if you block serotonin 2A, all of a sudden, you can give a big old dose of psilocybin to people, and they don't feel anything.
Then it produces serotonin largely through the influence of microbes that live in our gut and then the signal when this cell is activated there’s many things chemical or
or actually serotonin molecules.
of neurochemicals: dopamine, and serotonin , and noradrenaline, and endorphins.
And then you have other compounds: MDMA releases serotonin , so that's a different form of action on the serotonin system.
So, psilocybin affects serotonin , but then serotonin affects the glutamate system.
endorphins, and serotonin .
And often the medications that people with depression take particularly serotonin re-uptake inhibitors, such as Prozac and all the other drugs in this category.
make it highly plausible that there is an integrate connection between serotonin in the gut, serotonin in our food, depression and gut function.
And so the sugar that you eat raises of course not only serotonin , there are number of other
what degree you express four very broad biological systems associated with the neurochemicals dopamine uh serotonin
And psilocybin and the other classic psychedelics can latch onto that the same way that serotonin latches onto these brain receptors.
But they do something different, 'cause clearly serotonin itself, which we all have floating in our brains right now, is not psychedelic.
And they look a lot like serotonin if you look at the molecular models of them and, in fact, LSD fits that receptor site even better than serotonin does and it
And the way you should think about this is in the numerator you have serotonin , and in the denominator you have cortisone.
it's found in the blood, the precursor to serotonin .
interesting of all they are generally not terribly creative if you the more you drive up serotonin the less
A lot of these compounds, well we have a simplistic story about serotonin 2A being the primary receptor, but, in fact, most of them hit a large number of receptors
There may be other genes related to, there's some evidence for some genes related to serotonin or dopamine transmission in the brain that might be related.
And in fact, LSD fits that receptor site even better than serotonin does, and it stays there longer, and that's why the LSD trip can last 12 hours.
And that is sort of set up in utero because those areas of the brain that respond to serotonin are altered by these so called warrior genes.
The three big neurotransmitters would be dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin .
Now, you can’t take dopamine or norepinephrine or even serotonin and get it to your brain because there’s something in our body called the “blood/brain barrier.” It protects
And that has a different reaction on the, I guess, the catcher in this analogy, than serotonin itself would.
this is norepinephrine, dopamine, endorphins, anandamide, and serotonin , and oxytocin.
the neurochemicals that show up in flow, so dopamine, norepinephrine, anandamide, endorphins, and serotonin , if you were to try to cocktail,
This flushes all the stress hormones out of your system and replaces them with kind of feel good performance enhancing neurochemicals like dopamine and anandamide and serotonin
You get norepinephrine, dopamine, anandamide, serotonin and endorphins.
