How do psychedelics temporarily change brain network connectivity?
Psychedelics appear to temporarily increase cross talk between large-scale brain networks.

This pattern points to a reconfiguration rather […]

How do psychedelics temporarily alter cooperation among brain networks?
Psychedelics appear to temporarily reconfigure cooperation among large-scale brain networks by boosting cross-talk between them.

This picture comes from an international mega-analysis of 11 resting-state […]
