The entropic brain today

This commentary (2026) describes the entropic brain hypothesis, which links higher brain entropy with expanded states of consciousness such as meditation, psilocybin use and REM sleep, and lower entropy with reduced consciousness such as deep sleep, anaesthesia and disorders of consciousness. It says the model has supportive evidence and that increased brain entropy under psilocybin has been linked to better wellbeing one month later.

Models of psychedelic drug action: modulation of cortical-subcortical circuits

This theory-building paper (2021) presents a new model of how psychedelic drugs may act in the brain. The new model, the cortico-clasustro-cortical model (CCC model), proposes that psychedelics disrupt 5-HT2A-mediated network coupling between the claustrum (a region of the brain where 5-HT2A receptors are densely expressed) and the cortex, leading to attenuation of canonical cortical networks. This model is discussed in relation to two previously described models, the CSTC and REBUS.
