Psilocybin shapes the slow, global propagation of brain activity over the cortical layout of 5HT2a receptors

This brain imaging analysis (n=7) used fMRI data from sessions with psilocybin and a methylphenidate (Ritalin) control to explore how psychedelics affect the speed at which activity travels across the cortex. It found that faster propagation was linked to increased functional connectivity and that the distribution of 5-HT2a receptors may help explain how psilocybin modulates these travelling waves.
