'''Psychedelics''' are a class of [[hallucinogens]] that act primarily by binding to and [[agonist|activating]] the receptors for [[serotonin]], a key [[neurotransmitter|signaling molecule in the brain]]. Serotonin plays a number of critical roles all throughout the human body but in the brain, it is especially linked to the proper functioning and regulation of sensory perception, behavior, mood, cognition and memory.<ref name=nichols5HT>Nichols, D. E., & Nichols, C. D. (2008). Serotonin Receptors. ''Chemical Reviews'', 108(5), 1614-1641. https://doi.org/10.1021/cr078224o</ref>

The term was coined by the British psychiatrist Humphrey Osmond in 1956 and derives from the Greek words ''ψυχή'' (psyche, "soul, mind") and ''δηλείν'' (delein, "to manifest") which taken together mean "soul-manifesting," with the implication being that psychedelics can allow one to access the soul and develop unused potentials of the human mind.<ref>A.

In modern times, psychedelic substances are used in a range of contexts spanning from the shamanic, religious and "spiritual", or the [[transpersonal]]. They are often referred to as [[entheogens]] ("generating the divine within")<ref>Dictionary - Entheogen | http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/entheogen</ref> by those who use them for these purposes, although they are also used solely for [[recreational drug use|recreational purposes]] as well.

[[File:Psilocybin neural connections.jpg|350px|thumbnail|right|The diagram above demonstrates the neural connections associated with sobriety in comparison to being under the influence of psilocybin as demonstrated through the use of MRI scans. The width of the links is proportional to their weight and the size of the nodes is proportional to their strength. Note that the proportion of heavy links between communities is much higher (and very different) in the psilocybin group, suggesting greater integration<ref>Petri, G., Expert, P., Turkheimer, F., Nutt, D., Hellyer, P.

[[File:Lsd brain scan.jpg|thumbnail|350px|right|This image shows how, with eyes-closed, much more of the brain contributes to the visual experience under LSD (right image) than under placebo (left image). The magnitude of this effect correlates with participants’ reports of complex, dreamlike visions.<ref>Carhart-Harris, R.
