Determining their effect on the brain is crucial from clinical standpoint, but also offers highly promising avenues of advancement in basic neuroscience\u2014functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is one of the most useful techniques to do so, with a number of newly published studies increasing every year. Here we present a scoping review of existing fMRI studies of serotonergic psychedelics to date, with a focus on finding unifying themes among them, in order to comprehensively grasp current directions within this field. We cluster the existing studies by fMRI modality and find several lines of developing concepts complementing the established models of psychedelic actions on the brain: namely, we describe a general picture of de-differentiation with the default mode network at its core captured by a diverse array of different techniques, complex changes to the thalamus, amygdala and medial temporal lobe structures, and the importance of the phenomenon of ego dissolution. Finally, contrasts to phenomenologically similar states and the successful process of anchoring fMRI findings to other markers are discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnins.2025.1606798","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,1]],"date-time":"2025-07-01T05:28:55Z","timestamp":1751347735000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["What fMRI studies say about the nature of the psychedelic effect: a scoping review"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Michal","family":"Bene\u0161","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tom\u00e1\u0161","family":"P\u00e1len\u00ed\u010dek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ji\u0159\u00ed","family":"Hor\u00e1\u010dek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"555","DOI":"10.1001\/jamapsychiatry.2023.4685","article-title":"Single-dose synthetic psilocybin with psychotherapy for treatment-resistant bipolar type II major depressive episodes: a nonrandomized open-label trial","volume":"81","author":"Aaronson","year":"2024","journal-title":"JAMA Psychiatry"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"117430","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jep.2023.117430","article-title":"Emotion regulation effects of Ayahuasca in experienced subjects during implicit aversive stimulation: An fMRI study","volume":"320","author":"Arruda Sanchez","year":"2024","journal-title":"J.
