Psychedelics restructure information in the human brain

This study uses multivariate information decomposition to analyze how five psychedelics alter information processing in the human brain, revealing new insights into neural reorganization.

Tuning in together: LSD enhances inter-brain synchrony and felt connectedness in romantic couples

This study shows that LSD increases inter-brain synchrony and felt connectedness in romantic couples during rest and interaction, independent of drug concentration.

Sex Differences in Acute Responses to Psychedelics: Evidence for Greater Subjective Intensity and Impairment in Female Participants

This study finds that female participants report greater subjective intensity and impairment during acute psychedelic experiences compared to males, independent of drug exposure and age.

Psilocybin acutely dissociates cognitive and affective empathy, with empathic concern predicting persisting positive psychological effects

This study examines how psilocybin affects different aspects of empathy and links empathic concern to long-term psychological benefits.

Unmixing the Psychedelic Connectome: Brain Network Traits of Psilocybin

This study uses connICA to analyze resting-state fMRI data and identifies distinct functional connectivity traits associated with psilocybin's effects on brain networks and cognitive performance.

A virtual clinical trial of psychedelics to treat patients with disorders of consciousness

This study uses computational models to simulate psychedelic treatments for disorders of consciousness, finding they shift brains closer to criticality, with varying effects based on patient state.

The forgotten psychedelic: Spatiotemporal mapping of brain organisation following the administration of 2C-B and psilocybin

This study compares the neural effects of 2C-B and psilocybin using fMRI, finding distinct patterns in functional connectivity and brain complexity.

Dynamic Functional Hyperconnectivity after Psilocybin Intake is Primarily Associated with Oceanic Boundlessness

This study links psilocybin-induced brain dynamics with phenomenological changes, showing hyperconnectivity correlates with oceanic boundlessness.

The unique neural signature of your trip: Functional connectome fingerprints of subjective psilocybin experience

This paper uses brain-fingerprinting to show that psilocybin increases idiosyncratic functional connectivity in the default-mode network, which predicts subjective drug experiences.

Ritualistic use of ayahuasca enhances a shared functional connectome identity with others.

This study examines how ayahuasca use affects functional connectomes, finding shared functional spaces and predictive relationships between connectivity patterns and drug experiences.
