Acute effects of nitrous oxide on visual processing: a connectome study in healthy adults.
Research Square January 12, 2026 Niloufar Pouyan, Chelsea M Kaplan, Tony E. Larkin et al. preprint
Nitrous oxide (N2O) produces perceptual alterations and changes in large-scale brain network organization, yet its effects on task-specific visual processing remain unclear. Given the prominence of visual alterations during psychedelic exposure, we investigated how subanesthetic N2O modulates functional connectivity during visual stimulation. Thirteen healthy adults completed a...
