Under the influence of psilocybin, brain activity was increased in the primitive network associated with emotion which includes the hippocampus and the anterior cingulate cortex. The hippocampus is associated with learning, memory and emotion, whereas the anterior cingulate cortex is associated with states of arousal. Interestingly, this activity closely resembles the brain activity observed during dreaming.
