Broadband cortical desynchronization underlies the human psychedelic state.
Psychedelic drugs produce profound changes in consciousness, but the underlying neurobiological mechanisms for this remain unclear. Spontaneous and induced oscillatory activity was recorded in healthy human participants with magnetoencephalography after intravenous infusion of psilocybin--prodrug of the nonselective serotonin 2A receptor agonist and classic psychedelic psilocin. Psilocybin redu...
متن کاملDesynchronization of human circadian rhythms.
In man as well as in animals, diurnal rhythms are based on endogenous, periodic processes which can be considered self-sustained oscillations in a technical sense2). Evidence for this is given by the observation that, underconstant conditions, the rhythm continues a) undamped and b) with a frequency which deviates from that of the earth's rotation6). It is this deviation of the free-running 'ci...
متن کاملCortical dysfunction underlies disability in multiple sclerosis.
BACKGROUND Gray matter atrophy has been implicated in the development of secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS). Cortical function may be assessed by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Determining whether cortical dysfunction was a feature of SPMS could be of pathophysiological significance. OBJECTIVES Consequently, novel paired-pulse threshold tracking TMS techniques were used...
متن کاملInhibitory Stabilization of the Cortical Network Underlies Visual Surround Suppression
In what regime does the cortical circuit operate? Our intracellular studies of surround suppression in cat primary visual cortex (V1) provide strong evidence on this question. Although suppression has been thought to arise from an increase in lateral inhibition, we find that the inhibition that cells receive is reduced, not increased, by a surround stimulus. Instead, suppression is mediated by ...
متن کاملStimulus induced desynchronization of human auditory 40-Hz steady-state responses.
The hypothesis that gamma-band oscillations are related to the representation of an environmental scene in the cerebral cortex after binding of corresponding perceptual elements is currently under discussion. One question is how the sensory system reacts to a fast change in the scene if perceptual elements are rigidly bound together. A reset of the gamma-band oscillation forced by a change in s...
