Could Psychedelics Be Used to Understand Near-Death Experiences?

For decades now, researchers have been unable to decipher what exactly causes a near-death experience. While most scientific studies haven’t delved into the study of near-death experiences, researchers have discovered that the characteristics of these incidents remain constant 20 years after they occurred. This discovery offers researchers an opportunity to learn more about these incidents first-hand and call attention to the foundational characteristics of near-death experiences. A recent study found that near-death experiences were marked by the infamous tunnel of light, an out-of-body experience and a feeling of inner peace.

Researchers ID Psychedelic Analog That Counters Effects of Stress in Mice

New research conducted by researchers from the University of California-Santa Cruz has found that an individual dose of tabernanthalog (“TBG”) can repair neural circuits in the brain that are damaged by stress, enhance neuronal connection regrowth and remedy behavioral deficits such as cognitive inflexibility and anxiety that are caused by stress. TBG is a new compound that has a structure similar to ibogaine, a psychedelic drug. Prior studies have found that while ibogaine has the potential to treat addiction, it is also a powerful hallucinogen and can cause severe heart arrhythmias. However, unlike ibogaine, TBG lacks hallucinogenic and toxic effects.…

Why NIH Should Get Involved in Psychedelics Research

Investing in medicinal psychedelic research in the recent past was considered risky. Now, however, financiers and entrepreneurs are injecting money into the development of psychedelic therapies for behavioral and mental health issues. Despite this, one of the biggest public financiers of medical research in the world — the National Institutes of Health — is yet to do so. The organization’s absence in psychedelic medicine may potentially be slowing the development of new innovative treatments as well as preventing researchers from entering the field. Records show that various human populations have used psychedelics such as psilocybin, mescaline, MDMA, LSD, ibogaine, DMT…
