impulsivity

Impulsivity — the tendency to act on immediate impulses without sufficient reflection on consequences — runs through many areas of mental health, including substance use disorders, attention disorders, mood disorders and personality traits. A growing body of research examines how psychoactive plants and traditional medicines such as ayahuasca, ibogaine and psilocybin-containing mushrooms may modulate impulsive behavior and underlying neural mechanisms. ICEERS gathers here scientific content addressing impulsivity in this context.
