The festive traditions of Christmas, replete with feasts, gift-giving, and elaborate decorations, may have evolved from ancient shamanic practices, particularly those involving Amanita muscaria or the fly agaric mushroom.
The endocannabinoid system serves to modulate neurotransmission at inhibitory and excitatory synapses in the brain, specifically in brain regions associated with the regulation of emotions, motivation, pain, and cognition [10-14]. Our knowledge of this system has broadened considerably in recent decades and its discovery represents a hallmark in neuroscience.
Cognitive biases are prevalent human tendencies that can significantly influence how we think, make decisions, and act in various ways [1-3]. In the setting of health and wellness, these biases can have a far-reaching impact [4], both positive and negative [5].
The use of psychedelics for their potential cognitive and mental health benefits is a topic that has gained attention in recent years. Psychedelics like LSD, psilocybin, DMT, ketamine, and MDMA have been explored for their nootropic and psychoplastogenic properties, making them intriguing subjects for research and clinical trials.
Nicotine is a chemical compound that naturally occurs in tobacco plants. It's notorious for its addictive properties and the severe health consequences of smoking. However, when you separate nicotine from the toxic components of tobacco and view it in isolation, a different narrative emerges.
Research from the turn of the century proposed that reduced forms of honokiol might yield enhanced anxiolytic activity compared with its parent compound [12,13]. The most promising of these was dihydrohonokiol-beta (DHH-B or 3'-(2 propenyl)-5-propyl-(1,1'-biphenyl)-2,4'-diol), a partially reduced honokiol derivative [13].
