Dimethyltryptamine, Pineal Gland and Jimo Borjigin's Research
Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is described as the most powerful hallucinogen in nature, found in plants, spinal fluid, and mammalian tissues. In 2014, researcher Jimo Borjigin at the University of Michigan discovered DMT within the pineal gland of live rats, providing strong evidence for its presence in the human brain. Because DMT metabolizes rapidly, it has historically been difficult to detect in living human subjects, leading to ongoing scientific debate.
