Barrett states that “although claustrum has received attention as a potential mediator of knowledge and cognitive function, our current assumption is that claustrum helps to integrate and organize brain networks as it supports vision and understanding.”

States of Consciousness

Differences in claustrum activity levels are associated with different levels of awareness. For example, claustrum movies on shrooms the activity of a slow wave in the brain.

Neurologist Yoshihiro

Yoshihara and his colleagues at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science recently published a thegaiavoice.com study in Nature Neuroscience. They showed mice that increased neural activity in the claustrum mediates global silencing of brain activity through the resting state of slow-moving waves.

Psilocybin probably overcomes the so-called claustrum gateway function, resulting in the loss of orderly, complex brain function, according to neuroscientists Robin Carhart-Harris and Karl Friston. Discharging such synchronization enhances communication between unrelated brain regions, producing a change in consciousness.

Combined with supportive psychiatric treatment

Such an extended, unrestricted debate between brain regions is believed to help break down common The Gaia Voice of thinking and behavior, leading to mental success. This approach may also explain how psilocybin can affect the positive changes in so many psychiatric conditions. Neuropsychopharmacologist David Nutt and colleagues from the Center for Psychological Research at Imperial College London discussed these ideas in a paper published by Cell.

Einstein's music

Although elaborate, Albert Einstein believed that his greatest achievements in science were due to his playing the violin. He said the practice promotes communication between different parts of his brain in different ways that were not accessible to his mind. .

Could it be that Einstein was describing a state of consciousness that results from creative works that mushroom, albeit to a lesser degree, the effect of psychedelics on the brain?

Barrett believes that listening

To and playing music requires the same mental presence and deep meditation - the connection here and now. Barrett states that “one of the unique effects of psychedelics is called total absorption at present, and up to this point, I believe that the musical experience may involve similar situations of recognizing (albeit to a lesser degree) the effects of psychedelics.

He points out that claustrum will need to act as a highly orchestra conductor to support the movies on shrooms experience - unlike psychedelics, which undermines claustrum work. "If the musical experience and the psychological experience both involve claustrum," he said, "it can do so in very different ways."

No Drugs Needed

Psychedelic-like experiences and altered state of consciousness are possible in the absence of mind-altering drugs. For example, anesthesia is known to cause hallucinations. In fact, anesthesia treatment can help treat the same mental disorders as psychotherapy, such as depression and anxiety. Considering the role of claustrum in the integration of multiple sensory inputs, investigating its drug-free, psychedelic experience may answer some interesting questions in the future.
