<onlyinclude>'''Disconnective effects''' | <onlyinclude>'''Disconnective effects''' are defined as any [[subjective effect index|subjective effect]] which feels as if it detaches or disconnects one from the external environment, their senses, and their consciousness. | ||
These effects are typically associated with [[dissociative]] [[hallucinogen]]s and likely occur due to the way in which these compounds function as [[NMDA receptor antagonists]]. This means they bind to the receptor, but do not activate it and block other [[neurotransmitter]]s from doing so. The result is a dose-dependent decrease in the passing of electrical signals across the brain and an overall disconnection of neurons, which leads to states of disconnection between conscious parts of the brain and its sensory organs. | These effects are typically associated with [[dissociative]] [[hallucinogen]]s and likely occur due to the way in which these compounds function as [[NMDA receptor antagonists]].
