102. MDMA and the Octopus with Dr Gül Dölen

In this episode, Prof Neill and Dr Thurgur meet with Dr Gül Dölen, a neuroscientist known for studying social behaviour and psychedelic drugs. Together, they explore the role of critical periods in trauma and mental health; following the potential of Psychedelics in reopening critical periods which were previously thought to be closed, they debate whether a critical period closing is ever truly permanent.

This was an amazing talk. My partner had an ischemic stroke a couple of years before I met her about 8 years ago,she had her issues after the stroke,apashia,some speech issues ,memories lost etc,but after partaking in low level social psychedelic experimentation with myself, MDMA ,Pscilocibin, DMT, i too have had some amazing advances in my mind, different mindset etc...but she has come on leaps and bounds to the point where she has relatively no symptoms,even the aphasia has subsided so much,even the doctors were so surprised at this,whether this has been neurogenesis or something else, something profound has happened,and this happened over the space of a few months,more studies on this type of thing is definitely needed but there's definitely some amazing discoveries/medications to be found,keep up the great work 🙏
