Psychedelics Open a 2-3 Week Neuroplasticity Window
Gould-Dolan at UC Berkeley has shown that psychedelics temporarily reopen critical developmental windows — the same neuroplasticity that exists in childhood. For two to three weeks after a psychedelic experience, your brain is unusually malleable. Habits formed in this window stick harder. This applies to stroke rehabilitation, language acquisition, and, critically, whatever you're doing at 11pm.
