Description

SUMMARYUnderstanding the relationship of conscious states to large-scale brain dynamics remains a central challenge in neuroscience. Here, diverse pharmacological and physiological perturbations—including psychedelics, sleep, and propofol sedation—are used to examine integration-segregation organization of brain networks across altered states of consciousness in humans using functional MRI. Across analyses, psychedelic and sedative states exhibit a robust “mirror-image” pattern of integration and segregation.
