For my fellow clickbait haters

In a new paper published today in the journal Advanced Science, researchers from China and the U.K. become the first to demonstrate inter-brain activity coupling between two species. The study goes on to illustrate not only how a mutation associated with ASD is linked to much lower coupling, but how a dose of LSD could help two brains intertwine.

Hopefully this puts LSD on a path to being easier to research and potentially becoming part of an approved therapy for certain conditions.

A bunch of that paper is over my head - but they do seem to say that the change is sustained ~~(with or without more doses???)~~ EDIT: single dose has lasting effects /EDIT and that there may be encouragement for increases in social engagement for ASD humans with a therapeutic LSD dose.
