Abstract in brief

Hallucinogens, including natural substances like mescaline and psilocybin, as well as synthetic ones like LSD, have been known to significantly alter consciousness, emotions, and thinking for thousands of years.
The chemical similarity between LSD and serotonin led to the idea that serotonin and related receptors, especially the 5HT receptor, are involved in how hallucinogens affect the brain and may have links to mental illnesses like schizophrenia.
Recent research focuses on how hallucinogens interact with serotonin 5HT receptors, highlighting their structure, location in the brain, and role in mediating the drugs' effects on neuropsychological processes.
