Learning as the unifying mechanism of psychedelic action

which is very interesting and all and I have one like tiny itty bitty little question

did anyone try to measure this for adult SLA?!?!?!?! hello? anyone? hi?

or musical skill acquisition, for that matter

ok, then. for science ♪

> While so far, researchers haven’t found psychedelics to open human-specific critical periods such as language learning, the psychedelic experience is anecdotally described as making one “child-like” again. However, the weight-based doses in animal models that promote plasticity are an order of magnitude larger than those typically ingested by humans, rendering the generalizability of these findings questionable.

skill issue

@elilla
i don't know that they can speak with confidence on what doses are 'typical'

microdosing is probably more popular than ever before. people take all manner of doses

@elilla years ago, I had the incredible idea to research people's language use while high on psychedelics.

I was also tripping on acid at the time but I stand by my idea.
