Dimethyltriptamine injected into the left superior frontal gyrus?

If dimethyltriptamine would be injected into the left superior frontal gyrus of a human being, what would the results be like?

My own hypothesis is that the "trip" would be similar to a state in which the person would feel as if they were lucid dreaming in the surroundings in which they actually are, considering the nature of DMT as a strong hallucinogen and the known tasks of the left superior frontal gyrus. Is this what would happen? Another thing that I believe it could affect would be that it could possibly last for the rest of the person's life, as it is injected straight into such an important part in the brain? Would the brain adapt to it, and start producing DMT in a way similar to the injection?

Has research like this ever been conducted, but I simply am unable to find anything regarding it? Is it something that has never been done, but has been thought of? Has it never been even considered? It would, in my non-professional opinion, be a highly interesting scientific research, which could lead to major discoveries, although I do understand that most likely nobody would ever volunteer for such an unusual and possibly dangerous experiment. I also have never been involved in any kind of drug use, not even recreational, and the only hallucinations I have ever had have been due to sleep deprivation, and would never conduct such research myself, not that I would even have the possiblity to do so. This is simply an interesting subject for people to discuss.

So, the question of the poll is this: what do you believe would happen? Post a comment about why you believe so, and your theory about it.

    Your body is great at metabolizing DMT, so I think that this would almost certainly be a temporary trip. It is this process that breaks it down under other types of consumption (smoking, drinking ayahuasca, injection into forearm) and I don't see why this wouldn't happen if you injected it into your brain. Your body can't deal with the constant effect of the drug (because it is often quite overwhelming) and you need a lot of time after you've come down to deconstruct what happened, interpret it and apply it to the rest of your life. Since DMT has been with us as long as we've been around, our bodies know this and know that a constant DMT state is really not useful or desirable, and therefore I don't think it would be possible. I also don't think it would at all change the way our brain produces DMT in the long run.
    I don't know about the regions of the brain or how that would affect it, but I think that your brain processes DMT in the pineal gland so an injection to your brain would result in an almost instant effect because it wouldn't have to travel far.
    I'm not convinced that the potential risks of what you are suggesting are worth it. There is definitely research out there of the effects of DMT by injection, and I think that we can learn a lot about the drug in this way (which has been proven to be safe in when done under proper medical supervision). I think that if we did more research, we would continue to learn about the effects of this hallucinogen and that this kind of research would eventually bring about the answers to a lot of the questions we have about it. Brain injection is not necessary, IMHO. But I also don't think it would kill us and probably wouldn't be all that dangerous at low doses. But I don't really want to find out.

      The (left) superior frontal gyrus is the part in the brain that controls the senses and sense of reality, that is the reason why I am highly interested in the effects of injections in there. If it one day is researched by scientists, I would love to know what the results would be, although I believe that if they ever conduct such experimentation, they would not publish the results anytime soon.

      I also now realized that I had misspelled dimethyltryptamine... Now I feel like a mentally disabled child.

    You would probably have the typical DMT experience, but then basically since it was injected into the brain you'd probably just stay that way forever. Stuck in hyperspace basically. That's my guess

    most DMT you find on the street is not truely the DMT our brains produce. there is an extra carbon atom in the molecule. nobody seems to really mention this but it's the main reason i care not to try this drug.

    Depending on how much is injected, I think your body would go in shock and you would pass out. Otherwise, it would just be a bad trip, but I'm pretty sure it won't be permanent.

    This is stupid and DANGEROUS.
    Know and understand the properties of ANY pschoactive substances BEFORE you use them. Experiment cautiously! Avoid ALL addictive psxhoactive substances unless prescribed by a bona fide medical practitioner!

    This left me so confused that I've gotten a headache from it.

    like any such drug, it can be extremely dangerous.

    He is refering to a powerful hallucinogen, abbreviated as DMT. It gives the user intense hallucinations, including a "visit from aliens".

    (BTW, I had to look this up, this is the first I heard of it)
