A recent naturalistic longitudinal study involving Psychae researchers found that ayahuasca consumption in naïve participants is associated with improvements in mental health, relationships, personality structure, and alcohol use with most of these persisting one month later. 1/2.

The findings indicate that classic psychedelics acutely decrease activity in the DMN, while concurrently increasing global connectivity in the brain. This is a potential causal mechanism of the role psychedelics play in ameliorating depression. 2/2 .

Psychae's @sgdruffell recently presented his research project to the @Yale Psychedelic Science Group. Simon’s work (with @IcaroScience) focused on a 6-month naturalistic study of traditionally-based use of Ayahuasca and its effects on mental health.
