Serotonergic psychedelics, such as LSD and psilocybin, primarily work by binding to and activating postsynaptic serotonin 2A receptors in the brain. This leads to altered sensory perception, thought, and emotion. While some psychedelics may also affect neurotransmitter release and reuptake inhibition, these effects are thought to be secondary to their activation of postsynaptic receptors.
