Summary
Even a very small amount of a psychedelic compound can subtly reshape brain connections. Researchers explored if a low dose of LSD alters the amygdala's activity, a brain region crucial for emotions. Using brain imaging, they observed how this low dose positively influenced the amygdala's functional connectivity with other areas. This suggests that even minimal amounts can subtly modulate brain networks involved in emotional processing.
