Understanding How Psychedelics Affect the Brain

The activation of serotonin receptors in the thalamic reticular nucleus causes inhibitory shells to lose their ability to work, leading to an increase in lateral connectivity in layer five of the cortex, which helps explain the effects of psychedelics. Such drugs can cause new algorithms to form and reveal unusual solutions that couldn't be reached through normal cognitive thought processes.

Summary
Sometimes solutions come when we step out of the narrow tunnel of deductive and inductive thinking, and instead allow fluidity and rigidity in time and space. Even psychedelic experiences have been touted as a possible pathway to exploration, but accessing new solutions doesn't have to rely on them.
