Differential contributions of serotonergic and dopaminergic functional connectivity to the phenomenology of LSD

Psychopharmacology March 24, 2022 Timothy Lawn, Ottavia Dipasquale, Alexandros Vamvakas et al. 48 citations

Abstract Rationale LSD is the prototypical psychedelic. Despite a clear central role of the 5HT 2a receptor in its mechanism of action, the contributions of additional receptors for which it shows affinity and agonist activity remain unclear. Objectives We employed receptor-enriched analysis of functional connectivity by targets (REACT) to explore differences in functional connectivity (FC)...

Contents of Consciousness Investigated as Integrated Information in Direct Human Brain Recordings

bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) February 15, 2016 Andrew M. Haun, Masafumi Oizumi, Christopher K Kovach et al. 9 citations preprint

Abstract Integrated information theory postulates that the particular way stimuli appear when we consciously experience them arises from integrated information relationships across neural populations. We investigated if such equivalence holds by testing if similar/different percepts map onto similar/different information structures. We computed integrated information structure from intracranial...

Does Practice Make Perfect? Functional Connectivity of the Salience Network and Somatosensory Network Predicts Response to Mind-Body Treatments for Fibromyalgia

Sonia Medina, Owen G. O’Daly, Matthew A. Howard et al. preprint

Abstract Mind-body treatments can improve coping mechanisms, and occasionally perceived pain, in individuals with Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). However, their mechanisms-of-action remain unclear and predictors of treatment response are lacking. We employed resting-state blood oxygen level dependent (rsBOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to address this need by examining changes in...
