Psychedelics align brain activity with context

TL;DR - A Nature study reports that psilocybin reorganizes brain activity into structured patterns aligned with context, integrating internal and external processing. This may help explain both the perceived continuity between self and world during psychedelic states and subsequent psychological change.

• Psilocybin produces structured rather than merely disordered changes in brain activity.
• The resulting activity patterns align neural processing with contextual information.
• The reorganization integrates internally generated and externally driven processing.
• The findings propose a neural basis linking psychedelic experience to psychological effects.
