Can anybody help me out here? I'm interested in how DMT works on our neurones and synapses...and possible theories/knowledge on how these physical actions lead to something so beautifully intangible. Has there been any recent studies into this sort of thing...I think i'm probably asking a lot here!? Any help or pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

I do appreciate that there won't be any full explanations, but anything that provides clues would be great?

Oh found this interesting article in this forum on the possible role of endogenous DMT http://www.dmt-nexus.me/forum/resource.ashx?a=370

^^Yes specifically a number of new papers have come out talking about the role of endogenous DMT and its activity on a class of neural receptors known as the Trace amine recepters. It appears dmt may be involved in sensory perception.

Here is a great review by David Nichols on the neuropharmacology of hallucinogens. Most stuff is about the 5-HT receptors but some new stuff is coming out on other sites (TAAR, sigma, ...) http://www.scribd.com/do...-E-Nichols-Hallucinogens
