Serotonin and psilocybin activate 5-HT1B receptors to suppress cortical signaling through the claustrum by Maxwell B. Madden, Chloe Schaefgen, Binita Vedak, Jian Kwon, Kiara S. Dresp Pedra, Samuel H. Sheats, Adam C. Puche, Steffen B. E. Wolff, Brian N. Mathur

“…Yet, basic knowledge of neuromodulation in this structure is lacking. The claustrum is richly innervated by serotonergic fibers, expresses serotonin receptors, and is suggested to play a role in the ability of psilocybin, which is metabolized to the non-specific serotonin receptor agonist psilocin, to disrupt cortex-wide network states. …”
