Role of the Serotonin 2A Receptor in Psilocybin-induced Altered States of Consciousness
Psilocybin (active compound of "magic mushrooms") is a prototypical psychedelic substance that acts via agonism on serotonin (5-HT) 2A receptors. Psilocybin is rapidly metabolized into its active metabolite psilocin.

Heat Stress, Physiological Stress
Influence of Indoor Humidity on Physiological Strain in Older Adults During a Simulated Heat Wave
Laboratory-based studies show that exposure to high humidity can worsen the effects of heat stress in young and older adults by impeding sweat evaporation - the main mechanism by which the human body cools itself.
