This article attempts to break down the disconnective effects contained within the [[Dissociative#Subjective effects|dissociative experience]] into simple, easy to understand titles, descriptions and levelling systems. This will be done without depending on metaphors, analogies or personal trip reports. The article starts off with descriptions of the simpler effects and works its way up towards more complex experiences as it progresses.
'''Disconnective effects''' can be defined as any sensory effect which feels as if it dettaches or disconnects one from the external environment, their senses and their consciousness. These effects are intrinsically associated with [[dissociative]] [[halllucinogen]]s and 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. This leads onto states of disconnection between conscious parts of the brain and its sensory organs.
 
This page lists and describes the various visual distortions which can occur under the influence of certain [[psychoactive substance index|psychoactive compounds]].
