regional brain center analysis of activiy from different psycho active compounds
quite interesting to me.
figure 4 especially shows that the timing circuitry of cerebellum is way enhanced during methamphetamine and MDE, while the cognitive regions are depressed, psilocybin, provides a full spectrum enhancement.

Serotonin Neurons, Neuroplasticity, and
Homeostasis of Neural Tissue
the serotonin pathways are depicted as "along the gateway from the body to the cortex" and penetrating basalganglia and the timing circuitry in the cerebellum, but not in the cortex itself, so it is more involved with the circuitry of recognition, memory fixation, and control of processing.
neuroplasticity relates to chageable morphology or growth which is observed in this type of cell and that is also consistent with models of learning or adaptability and memory.
this article is not about psychedellic but about the serotonergic neurons and their place in brain function.

hey,
this book is probably a good read "Psychedelic Information Theory" by James Kent
from: http://www.tripzine.com/pit.asp?id=pit_toc -Table of Contents --with some chapters online.
'This is not a book about drugs, it is about experience, for what are drugs if not a means to experience? Each encounter with a psychoactive substance is a gateway into another world of unique moods, thoughts, feelings, sensations, and perceptions that would be otherwise inaccessible along this strange and twisted journey we call life. Much has been written about the many types of experiences one might encounter under the influence of a psychedelic drug, but very little has been written about how these drugs actually produce the phenomena they do, or why we react so strongly to them at such deep emotional levels. This is the primary reason I have written this book, to address the issue of how psychedelic drugs work, and why the affect us the way they do.'

Try debunking it yourself!
1)Read the articles posted here (did you read them?)
2)Ask people stating this HOW do they make your brain bleed.Press them for information.If this happened it would have a mechanism of happening ,wouldnt it?
3)Do you,from what you know so far in your stay in planet Earth, believe that "brain bleeding would result in tripping"? Try to find out what does brain bleeding means medically.Ponder if it is dangerous (yes,you will be amazed to find its a lethal condition).Now think ,lets say,of your friend thats has tripped 5 times or others in here that have been tripping on and off for the past 5 years.Do you think that they could "escape alive" 5 "brain bleeds" or 5 years of on and of "brain bleeding"?
