N,N‐dimethyltryptamine and Amazonian ayahuasca plant medicine
TLDR
Assessment of potential ayahuasca and N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) integration with contemporary healthcare seeks to provide a summary of selected literature regarding the mechanisms of action of DMT andAyahuasca; and assess to what extent the state of research can explain reports of unusual phenomenology.Abstract:
Reports have indicated possible uses of ayahuasca for the treatment of conditions including depression, addictions, post‐traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and specific psychoneuroendocrine immune system pathologies. The article assesses potential ayahuasca and N,N‐dimethyltryptamine (DMT) integration with contemporary healthcare. The review also seeks to provide a summary of selected literature regarding the mechanisms of action of DMT and ayahuasca; and assess to what extent the state of research can explain reports of unusual phenomenology.read more

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that only face perception induces a long-distance pattern of synchronization, corresponding to the moment of perception itself and to the ensuing motor response, and suggest that this desynchronization reflects a process of active uncoupling of the underlying neural ensembles that is necessary to proceed from one cognitive state to another.
