- louthy 1y agoI realise that, I’m just speculating on when the effect emerges. Whether it’s because of changes in the cones (which are the tips of nuerons) or a later emergent property.
- GuB-42 1y agoMost likely an emergent property. Psychedelics affect serotonin pathways, I don't think that cone cells and the first layers of neurons behind them have serotonin receptors.
- NL807 1y ago"Seeing" starts pretty much at the retina level and along the optic nerve. Lots of signal processing and data compression going on there. I wouldn't be surprised if hallucinogens affect those areas as well.
