MDMA has been reported to increase interoception, which is the ability to sense and perceive internal bodily sensations, encompassing awareness of various physiological states. This includes recognizing feelings associated with the functioning of internal organs, such as the rhythm of the heart, breathing patterns, feelings of fullness or hunger, and the activities of the autonomic nervous system that are linked to emotional responses. | MDMA has been reported to increase interoception, which is the ability to sense and perceive internal bodily sensations, encompassing awareness of various physiological states. This includes recognizing feelings associated with the functioning of internal organs, such as the rhythm of the heart, breathing patterns, feelings of fullness or hunger, and the activities of the autonomic nervous system that are linked to emotional responses. This is controlled by a part of the brain known as the insular cortex which essentially holds a map of the entire body and how it is feeling this is connected to the amgdala and the strength between these two is what is thought as the underlying mechanistic rationale for ptsd. | ||
