Figure 13. Layers of the neocortex. Signal rises from the thalamus throughintermediary layers to the apical dendrites at the top layer, where the highestdensity of 5-HT2A receptors are expressed. The dendrite arbors connect backdown to the large layer V pyramidal cells, which bind multisensory data vialateral projections, recurrent projections, and reciprocal thalamocorticalfeedback loops. From Grey’s Anatomy, modified.
Chapter 085-HT2A Agonism andMultisensory BindingMost visual hallucinogens are active as full or partial agonists at the5-HT 2A receptor subtype, and all produce similar visual hallucinationsthat are immediately recognizable as psychedelic. 1 Although the 5-HT 2Areceptor subtype is not the only receptor implicated inhallucinogenesis, 2 it is one of the most studied hallucinogenic targetsand offers some insights into the quality of classical psychedelicinteraction. 5-HT 2A receptors are ubiquitous throughout the nervoussystem, found in the sensory cortex, the frontal cortex, the olfactorycortex, the basal ganglia, the cerebellum, the hippocampus, thalamicnuclei, brainstem nuclei, sensory neurons, platelets, fibroblasts,intestines, smooth muscles, and cardiovascular systems. 3,4,5,6 Byfollowing the pathways of 5-HT 2A modulated signal transductionthrough the human organism it is possible to extrapolate thatpsychedelic experience is not limited to mere hallucination, but isinstead a complex multi-layered experience integrated throughout allbiological signaling systems. The layering of cellular signaling systemsmediated by 5-HT provides a framework for viewing the 5-HT 2Apathway as a primary modulator for homeostatic feedback regulation ofmultisensory awareness, behavior, and learning. 7 5-HT 2A receptoragonists (hallucinogens) promote disinhibition and excitability in 5-HTmediated pathways, indicating that psychedelic action is the product ofspontaneous nonlinear feedback excitation in the recurrent circuitsresponsible for real-time binding of sensation to multisensoryperception, affective behavior, and the process of consciousness.
