... marks salient sensory input for memory and learning, so period-doubling bifurcations in these recurrent mid-brain circuits may also lead to pulsating frame-feedback hallucination with high perceived salience. Tracking the mechanics of temporal...

5-HT2A Agonism and Multisensory Binding
... of multisensory awareness, behavior, and learning.7 5-HT2A receptor agonists (hallucinogens) promote disinhibition and excitability in 5-HT mediated pathways, indicating that psychedelic action is the product of spontaneous nonlinear feedbac...

From drugs to deprivation: a Bayesian framework for understanding models of psychosis
