How Psychedelics Reorganize the Brain’s Electrical Landscape

Brain wave propagation patterns psychedelics: How Psychedelics Reorganize the Brain's Electrical Landscape - The Church of Psychedelics

A study published in May 2026 in PubMed presents findings on how the brain’s electrical wave patterns propagate differently under psychedelic compounds compared to other altered states. Using data across psilocybin, LSD, DMT, and ketamine, as well as sleep and anesthesia, researchers identified novel spatiotemporal neural mechanisms that appear specific to psychedelic consciousness, suggesting these […]

DMT and Harmine Increase Brain Glucose Metabolism by 12.5%

DMT and harmine brain glucose metabolism: DMT and Harmine Increase Brain Glucose Metabolism by 12.5% - The Church of Psychedelics

A randomized, controlled neuroimaging study published in May 2026 has measured what happens inside the brain when healthy volunteers take an oral combination of DMT and harmine, the two primary pharmacological constituents of the traditional brew ayahuasca. Using fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography, or FDG-PET, researchers found a 12.5 percent increase in global cerebral glucose metabolism […]
