# Event Details - **Event Name**: The Neuroscience of Psychedelics: From the Brain to the Immune System - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 25 Aug, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Tue, 25 Aug, 2026 at 09:00 pm - **Event Description**: Can psychedelics influence more than consciousness? Discover the emerging neuroscience of the brain–body connection.About this EventWhen most people think about psychedelics, they think about altered states of consciousness.Vivid colours. New perspectives. Profound psychological experiences.But what if their effects extend beyond the mind?In recent years, psychedelics have become one of the fastest-growing areas of neuroscience research. Scientists are beginning to explore not only how they influence perception, emotion and consciousness, but also what they reveal about the relationship between the brain, the body and the immune system.In this Mind Circles Talk, neuroscientist and psychotherapist Anjali Bhat explores what happens inside the brain during a psychedelic experience and why researchers are increasingly interested in the brain–body connection.Drawing on neuroimaging, computational neuroscience, psychology and emerging research into psychedelic-assisted therapies, Anjali will examine how these experiences reshape subjective awareness and why they may offer new insights into conditions that extend beyond mental health, including autoimmune disorders.Together, we'll explore questions including:What happens in the brain during a psychedelic experience?Why can these experiences feel so profound and transformative?What is the relationship between the brain and the immune system?Could psychedelics help researchers better understand autoimmune conditions?What does current neuroscience tell us, and where is the research heading next?This is an evidence-based exploration of one of neuroscience's most rapidly evolving fields, separating what the research currently shows from the questions scientists are still working to answer.About Mind Circles TalksThis event is part of the Mind Circles Talks Sip n Learn series, where clinicians, researchers, academics, authors and thought leaders share evidence-based ideas in relaxed social spaces.Our aim is simple: to make neuroscience accessible without oversimplifying the science.No prior knowledge is required. Just curiosity.About the SpeakerAnjali Bhat is a neuroscientist and psychotherapist whose research explores the neural mechanisms underlying psychedelic experiences and psychedelic-assisted therapies for people living with psychiatric and autoimmune conditions.Using an interdisciplinary approach that combines neuroimaging, experience sampling, epigenetics and computational, cognitive and cellular neuroscience, her work investigates how psychedelics such as LSD influence the brain, mind and body across multiple levels of analysis.Anjali is a Lecturer on the MSc in Psychedelics: Mind, Medicine, and Culture within the Department of Psychology, where she helps translate one of neuroscience's fastest-moving areas of research into accessible, evidence-based understanding.Event ScheduleDoors close at 19:1519:00 – 19:30 | Arrival & Warm-Up Activity Guest arrival and informal connection.
