Summary
The use of optogenetics in neuroscience research has allowed for exploration of the exact brain-wide manifestations of altered states, like those experienced on psychedelics or during dissociation, at a cellular level. This has provided researchers with a better understanding of how these experiences originate and interact with the brain.
