Nature: Psilocybin desynchronizes the human brain

The article "Psilocybin desynchronizes the human brain," published in Nature, investigates how psilocybin, a psychedelic compound, impacts brain activity. Researchers used neuroimaging techniques to observe that psilocybin induces a state of decreased synchrony among brain networks. This desynchronization contrasts with the more organized network activity typically seen in the brain's default mode network. The study suggests that psilocybin's ability to disrupt normal brain patterns might underlie its effects on consciousness and perception, offering potential avenues for therapeutic applications and a deeper understanding of brain dynamic.
