Serotonin booster leads to increased functional brain connectivity

Caption

This figure shows that the healthy participants who received prucalopride had greater functional connectivity between key cognitive regions (the posterior / anterior cingulate cortices) and a major cognitive network (the central executive network). That is, they appeared to be strengthening their connectivity within cognitive networks.
