Introducing the Action-Mode Network – AMN. Better late than never! 17 years ago, we clumsily called this the Cingulo-opercular Network (CON) based on its anatomy (we weren’t exactly sure what it does). Now we’ve finally got the evidence to give it the functional name it deserves:

After a high dose of psilocybin, the brain desynchronizes at a massive scale, causing loss of our sense of self, time, and space. This may drive the burst of plasticity caused by psychedelics. The next day, brain activity has largely returned to normal, but an echo remains – a

.Jarod Roland, and his Washington University Neurosurgery & Washington University Department of Neurology colleagues analyzed the safety and accuracy of Stereo-EEG in pediatric patients who'd previously undergone craniotomy compared to those without prior cranial surgery. The results? (1/2)
