Subacute effects of the psychedelic ayahuasca on the salience and default mode networks

この研究はインパクトが大きい可能性があると判断されました。 OEのAIによるハイインパクト指標は、論文が掲載されたジャーナルと論文自体の科学的内容の両方からのシグナルを統合することで、論文の影響力を推定します。 最先端の自然言語処理を用いて開発されたOEハイインパクトモデルは、ジャーナルのインパクトファクターのみよりも、研究の将来の引用実績をより正確に予測します。 これにより、臨床的に意義のある研究をより早く認識することができ、読者は将来の診療を形成する可能性が最も高い論文に焦点を当てることができます。

研究概要

Fifty healthy participants were randomized to receive a single oral low dose of 1mL/kg of ayahuasca or placebo in this randomized placebo-controlled trial investigating the subacute effects of ayahuasca. Subjective drug effects were assessed using the Hallucinogenic Rating Scale (HRS). Neuroimages were acquired using resting state fMRI and inter- and intra-network functional connectivity analyses were performed using generated salience, visual, sensorimotor, and default mode network maps. Primary sensory networks did not show subacute changes in functional connectivity. One day after ayahuasca administration, there was increased anterior cingulate cortex connectivity within the salience network compared to placebo, which correlated with altered somesthesia scores. Decreased posterior cingulate cortex connectivity was also found within the default mode network, which correlated with altered volition scores. Additionally, following ayahuasca use, there was increased connectivity between the salience and default mode networks, which correlated with altered affect scores.
