- So, the neurophysiology of a child's brain is similar
to your brain high on psychedelics.
An adult brain has had so many experiences
that it has pruned its neurons to make decisions quickly
and simply based on the past.
A child's brain is new to the world
and when it encounters a new situation,
it uses neurons from all over the brain,
making creative and sometimes irrational decisions.
Neurophysiology studies find that when you take psychedelics
you actually use different parts of your brain,
similar to the ways that you did when you were a child.
So next time a child does something weird,
just remember their brain is on drugs.
