Clinical Trial: Molecular Imaging Study of Harmine/DMT: a Basic Research Approach
Study Status: COMPLETED
Recruit Status: COMPLETED
Condition: Neuropharmacological Investigation of Ayahuasca Constituents DMT and Harmine
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Molecular Imaging Study of Harmine/DMT: a Basic Research Approach
Brief Summary:
The few reports on effects of psychedelic substances on cerebral metabolic rate (CMRglc) indicate increases (psilocybin; human FDG-PET) or decreases (LSD, rat autoradiography; 5-MeO-DMT rat autoradiography).There are no reports of effects of DMT and/or harmine on cerebral energy metabolism.The primary objective of this study is thus to assess acute cerebrometabolic effects of harmine/DMT in healthy volunteers using quantitative FDG-PET, that is, to measure CMRglc before and after simultaneous treatment…
