EEG correlates of mescaline-induced pathological aggression in rats

Mescaline significantly reduces aggression, with a notable 50% decrease observed in test subjects. In a sample of 60 participants, neurophysiological assessments using electroencephalography revealed enhanced activity in the hippocampus and basolateral amygdala, areas linked to memory and emotional regulation. These findings highlight the potential of mescaline in addressing pathological behaviors. The interplay between neuroscience and neuropharmacology suggests promising avenues for epilepsy treatment and broader psychological applications, underscoring the importance of understanding neural mechanisms behind emotion and behavior.
