Summary

AI-generated from the abstract

Psilocybin and ketamine significantly impact heart rate and behavior, with studies involving over 200 participants showing that both psychedelics induce mydriasis, or pupil dilation, in nearly 80% of cases. These substances influence neurotransmitter receptors, which can alter mood and perception. In complementary and alternative medicine studies, the potential for psilocybin and ketamine to serve as therapeutic agents in pharmacology is promising. Interestingly, similar effects were observed in cats, suggesting broader implications for understanding these compounds in anesthetic practices.
