Rewiring Maladaptive Reward Learning using Dimethyltryptamine

28 August 2024

We are conducting a brain imaging study to look at how the psychedelic drug, N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) enhances neuroplasticity compared to other plasticity-enhancing drugs. This will involve comparing the activity in your brain using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) while watching movies. We will also use electroencephalography (EEG) to look at your brain activity while under the effects of either DMT, Lisuride, D-Cycloserine or placebo.
