    Brain-wide mapping of layer-specific functional connectivity in the human cortex at 3T using draining-vein-suppressed fMRI

    Wei-Tang Chang, Weili Lin, Kelly S Giovanello
    A velocity-nulled 3T GE-EPI fMRI method enabling 0.9-mm whole-brain imaging that suppresses vascular contamination and reliably maps layer-specific functional connectivity in human cortex.

    Modeling the hallucinatory effects of classical psychedelics in terms of replay-dependent plasticity mechanisms

    Colin Bredenberg, Fabrice Normandin ... Guillaume Lajoie
    Computational simulations indicate that classical psychedelics could induce hallucinations by co-opting neural circuitry dedicated to sleep-dependent replay and consolidation, providing a theoretical link between seemingly disparate fields of inquiry.
