DMT and S-Ketamine given during fMRI

fMRI, hallucinogen, human No Comments

Jörg Daumann and colleagues have published a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study comparing the effects of N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and S-Ketamine on fMRI-measured neural activity and performance during an attention task. Although the main findings aren’t dramatic, this paper is noteworthy in another way: I believe it is the first publication to combine fMRI and serotonergic hallucinogen administration in humans.
