Concept

LSD (Lysergic Acid Diethylamide) Neurobiology

LSD is an agonist of 5-HT with high affinity for 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C and is small enough to pass the BBB being approximately 100 times more potent than psilocybin. Interestingly, LSD is also an agonist of the dopaminergic receptors with relatively high affinity for dopamine 2 receptors and an agonist of the trace amine associate receptor.
