The feeling of deep connection on LSD might be more than a serotonin-fueled experience. New research suggests the substance interacts with oxytocin and vasopressin, the same neuropeptides responsible for human bonds like trust and maternal attachment. This reveals a complex chemical pathway where LSD could be influencing the very hormones that regulate our social wiring, creating its powerful prosocial effects.
