corybroo Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 An Amazonian tea stimulates the formation of new neurons One of the main natural components of ayahuasca tea is dimethyltryptamine (DMT), which promotes neurogenesis In addition to neurons, the infusion used for shamanic purposes also induces the formation of other neural cells such as astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. the results of four years of in vitro and in vivo experimentation on mice, demonstrating that these exhibit "a greater cognitive capacity when treated with this substance," The DMT in ayahuasca tea binds to a type-2A serotonergic brain receptor, which enhances its hallucinogenic effect. In this study, the receptor was changed to a sigma type receptor that does not have this effect, thus "greatly facilitating its future administration to patients."
