Our AI team at Mila/McGill reveals how hallucinations arise in neural networks in global landmark study

In a five year effort, our lab has led a consortium across three continents to conduct the world’s largest study on how psychedelic drugs lead to instability and chaos that derails normal function in network circuits.

- Brain-scanning allowed to examine the activity changes inside neural networks in real time, as participants were under the influence of a psychedelic substance, compared to sober state.
- 10x bigger study than any previous brain research in psychedelics (>500 brain scans, hundreds of participants).
- Our study focused on psilocybin, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), mescaline, dimethyltryptamine (DMT), and ayahuasca.
- Main finding: 5 different drugs have something in common; they cause “flattening” of the hierarchy of network systems; higher information-generating networks form cross-layer short circuits with lower-level information-receiving network for seeing and hearing.
- Published in Nature Medicine; one of the most prestigious scientific journals.

Our systematic assessment explains key mechanisms of how hallucinations come about in human brain circuits.

It’s a common misconception that life expectancy has increased only because fewer children die. Historical mortality records show that adults today also live much longer than adults in the past.

It’s true that child mortality rates were much higher in the past, and their decline has greatly improved overall life expectancy. But in recent decades, improvements in survival at older ages have been even more important.

The chart shows the period life expectancy in France for people of different ages. This measures how long someone at each of those ages would live, on average, if they experienced the death rates recorded in that year.

As you can see, life expectancy in France has risen at every age. In 1816, someone who had reached the age of 10 could expect to live to 57. By 2023, this had increased to 84.

For those aged 65, it rose from 76 in 1816 to 87 in 2023.

The data for many other countries shows the same. This remarkable shift is the result of advances in medicine, public health, and living standards.
