cognition

Cognition encompasses the mental processes involved in attention, memory, perception, language, executive function and decision-making. A growing body of research examines how psychoactive plants and traditional medicines — including ayahuasca, cannabis, psilocybin-containing mushrooms and others — interact with these processes, both in the short term and after prolonged use, and how cognitive changes relate to potential therapeutic applications. ICEERS gathers here scientific content addressing this intersection.
