Inhibition of the MRN in cats by lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and psilocin, two serotonin agonist hallucinogens, leads to dose dependent behavioral changes, indicating the MRN may be an important site of action for humans hallucinations.[2] The median raphe nucleus projects extensively to the hippocampus, which is known to be essential for the formation of long-term memory. One recent study found that this raphe-hippocampus pathway plays a critical role in regulation of hippocampal activity and likely associated memory consolidation processes.[3] See also
