Psychedelics

Psychoactive substances that can alter perception, mood, consciousness, and cognition.

Classical serotonergic hallucinogens

Psychedelics show their effects mainly through the 5-HT (serotonin) system.  They are 5-HT2A  receptor agonists, which activate serotonergic and dopaminergic activity in the brain.  They are implicated in mood and anxiety regulation.


Dissociative anesthetics

Dissociative anesthetics show their effects mainly as antagonists of the NMDA
