Cause of permanent tracers?

Protovack: His professor probably told him that, and he never thought to actually look it up. Although he might not actually understand neuroscience in the least, and when someone told him "LSD slows the activity of the raphe nucleus", which is true in a way, he thought it meant it damaged it. Ask your professor if he knows which receptor mediates that toxic effect, or that you were very interested and wondered if he had a citation... lol.

101, I agree, I think a lot of people get "HPPD" like symptomes without taking hallucinogens.. I doubt it is just "plain brian damage".

Ok I don't acctually understand neuroscience like you do, but thats what I've always been interested in and am going into in college down the road. I always thought that depleted neurotransmitters had a lot to do with it? The rate of firing & producing many of the ones that send signals in the brain (for eyesight specifically) were just slowed down and wern't working at the pace that events are occuring in the outside world? Ok I don't know if I got my theory over to you or not, but if I did, do you think that its in the least correct??

as far as i know LSD does not deplete any neurotransmitters. amphetamines (including MDMA) do that kind of thing.
 
LSD won't alter the rate of firing or metabolism in retinal cells and their receptive neurons. It wont cause loss or depletion of neurotransmitters.
