Summary
AI-generated from the abstractPsychedelics produce distinct brain activity patterns characterized by frequency-specific energy changes and an expanded repertoire of functional states, as revealed through connectome-harmonic decomposition. These neural signatures suggest that psychedelics increase the brain's flexibility and diversity of activity, which may underlie their therapeutic benefits for mental health.
