Psilocybin in long-term meditators: Effects on default mode network functional connectivity and retrospective ratings of qualitative experience

This double-blind, placebo-controlled study (n=16) examined the effects of high-dose psilocybin on subjective experience and brain connectivity in long-term meditators. Results indicate that psilocybin induced profound personal meaning and altered functional connectivity within the default mode network (DMN) and between the DMN and hippocampus, effects that were observable the day after dosing.
