Hallucinogen persisting perception disorder (HPPD) is a non-psychotic disorder in which a person experiences apparent lasting or persistent visual hallucinations or perceptual distortions after using drugs, [1] including but not limited to psychedelics, dissociatives, entactogens, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and SSRIs.
4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibitors (HPPD inhibitors) are a class of herbicides that prevent growth in plants by blocking 4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase, an enzyme in plants that breaks down the amino acid tyrosine into molecules that are then used by plants to create other molecules that plants need.
Illusory palinopsia is often worse with high stimulus intensity and contrast ratio in a dark adapted state.Multiple types of illusory palinopsia often co-exist in a patient and occur with other diffuse, persistent illusory symptoms such as halos around objects, dysmetropsia (micropsia, macropsia, pelopsia, or teleopsia), Alice in Wonderland Syndrome, visual snow, and oscillopsia.
Hallucinogen persisting perception disorder (HPPD), a condition caused by hallucinogenic drug use, is sometimes linked to visual snow, [26] but both the connection of visual snow to HPPD [8] and the cause and prevalence of HPPD are disputed. [9] Most of the evidence for both is generally anecdotal and subject to spotlight fallacy.
HPPD may refer to: Hallucinogen persisting perception disorder, a perception disorder that can be caused by hallucinogenic drug use; 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase, an enzyme found in almost all aerobic life forms and the primary target of some herbicides; One of those HPPD inhibitor herbicides, a 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase inhibitor
HPPD is an enzyme that usually bonds to form tetramers in bacteria and dimers in eukaryotes and has a subunit mass of 40-50 kDa. [7] [8] [9] Dividing the enzyme into the N-terminus and C-terminus one will notice that the N-terminus varies in composition while the C-terminus remains relatively constant [10] (the C-terminus in plants does differ slightly from the C-terminus in other beings).
Estimating the prevalence of HPPD is challenging. It is considered rare, with occurrences ranging from 1 in 20 users experiencing the transient and less severe type 1 HPPD, to 1 in 50,000 for the more concerning type 2 HPPD. [18] Contrary to internet rumors, LSD is not stored long-term in the spinal cord or other body parts.
Palinopsia (Greek: palin for "again" and opsia for "seeing") is the persistent recurrence of a visual image after the stimulus has been removed. [1] Palinopsia is not a diagnosis; it is a diverse group of pathological visual symptoms with a wide variety of causes.
