Krimmel, Roland Griffiths, David A. The first eigenvariable of all voxels within four ROIs left and right amygdala and left and right ACC was extracted for each subject and each scan and submitted to separate subject-level general linear model GLM analyses for each affective task at each time point baseline, 1 week post-psilocybin, and 1 month post-psilocybin.
The design matrix for the emotion recognition task included a regressor indicating the onset of every stimulus, and separate regressors of interest for each emotional face condition happy, angry, sad, fearful, and neutral. The design matrix for the emotional conflict Stroop task included regressors of interest for each of the four first-order sequence types congruent trials that follow a congruent trial, or CC, incongruent trials that follow a congruent trial, or CI, incongruent trials that follow an incongruent trial, or II, and congruent trials that follow an incongruent trial, or IC.
Post-hoc comparisons were conducted using t -tests, corrected for multiple comparisons using the Holm-Bonferroni method Analyses were repeated as exploratory whole-brain voxel-wise general linear models to investigate potential effects outside of hypothesized areas.
Resting-state data were preprocessed as task-based data and then submitted to simultaneous , bandpass filtering 0. Preprocessed and nuisance-regressed data were then parcellated using the Shen node functional brain atlas Voxels within each node were averaged at each acquisition to produce time series one for each node for each participant.
One subject was excluded from resting-state analysis for missing resting-state data from the 1 week time-point. Static functional connectivity between each edge each pair-wise set of nodes from the Shen atlas was calculated using Pearson correlations.
These values and all other correlations were Fisher z-transformed for all statistics. To explore differences in whole brain static connectivity, significant edges negative and positive were identified using separate one-sample t tests across participants for each edge and timepoint, thresholded using Bonferroni correction for all 35, edges. Although statistically conservative, this procedure yields the most reliable edges across our relatively small sample. All edges that survived this thresholding for at least one time point were then contrasted between time points baseline vs.
Two resting-state scans were collected at each MRI visit, and all resting-state dependent variables were averaged within-subject at each time point and each edge before analysis.
Nodes of the Shen atlas cluster into eight canonical functional networks: medial frontal, frontoparietal, default mode, subcortical-cerebellum including salience , motor, visual I medial , visual II occipital pole , and visual association lateral , yielding 8 additional within-network observations and 28 between-network observations for each outcome measure static functional connectivity, DCC, and entropy.
In order to explore within and between network differences, all edges within each network, or all edges between each pair of networks were averaged and compared across time points via t test. Visual analysis of the matrix of t -values was used to identify obvious patterns in connectivity change, but should be interpreted with caution. Griffiths, R.

Gur, R. There's no reset button on your brain. But the more scientists learn about magic mushrooms, the more we know that they're about as close to a reset button as we can get.
Psilocybin — the hallucinogenic chemical in certain mushrooms — can reshape cells in the brain, and increasingly, shows potential for treating addiction or depression. Now, using new brain models, scientists are getting a better idea of how it all happens. Scientists constructed a model of the human brain on psilocybin, illuminating how magic mushrooms allow our brain to access untapped potential. This model shows that, under the influence of psilocybin, the brain creates a feedback loop of neuron activity and neurotransmitter release the chemical messengers that neurons use to communicate.
That dynamic creates a one-two punch that could allow the brain to tap into otherwise inaccessible states , including the "destabilization" of individual brain networks and the creation of a more "global" network across the brain. That destabilization is one hypothesis that scientists have used to explain why magic mushrooms can create psychedelic experiences. You've got increased activity in the visual cortex, which leads to changes in your perception, and then decreased network activity in the default mode network, which leads to a loss of ego.
Johnson: And that may be why people often report at high doses a profound sense of unity, transcending beyond themselves. Narrator: But perhaps most importantly, psilocybin increases connectivity among different regions of the brain.
Johnson: Because of that receptor activation, there is a profound change in the way that different areas of the brain synchronize with each other. Narrator: Think of it like an orchestra. Normally, the brain has different musical groups that each play independently. Johnson: A sextet there, here's a quartet there. This one's playing jazz.
This one's classical, and a number of other ones. Johnson: So there is this communication between areas that are normally kind of compartmentalized and doing their own thing.
