No, it just continues. Nick Glenos in Ann Arbor did his doctoral work looking at those knockout animals. And they still make DMT. Yeah, you were saying that you had Dave Nichols in the other day. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you know, so, you know, what is endogenous DMT doing? Which is a, you know, its own conversation. Yeah. Yeah, you know, concentrations in the brain actually are rather high, Nick.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah. The presence of DMT in the pineal is still equivocal. It's still not really nailed down. Why can't we figure it out? Why is it so difficult? Um, why is that so difficult? Well, there's not much interest in endogenous DMT.

Well, people aren't doing the study.

Well, people aren't doing the study.

Well, people aren't doing the study.

Yeah, there's no funding, right. The woman in Ann Arbor who's overseen a lot of the DMT work there is Jimo Bergegan, who hasn't been able to get funding to look at the role of endogenous DMT. What is DMT doing in the brain of mammals and human brains?

Well, it's quite difficult in blood. Concentrations are in picograms per mil, which is in the range of billionths of grams per mil. You can't really depend on peripheral levels of DMT in the blood. In the brain, I mean, or in the living brain, the living pineal. You'd have to get fresh frozen brain tissue or something and you take a look.

Yeah, yeah. Well, the Michigan group demonstrated increases in brain DMT in the dying animal and the dead animal. Oh, really? Especially in the visual cortex, that part of the brain mediating vision. So that could be a way to explain the visual components of the near-death experience.
