These academic sources collectively investigate the therapeutic potential of ayahuasca, a psychedelic brew, for various psychological conditions. The research explores its effects on brain networks, particularly the default mode network (DMN), and its impact on neurotrophic factors like BDNF, which are linked to neural plasticity. Furthermore, the articles discuss how ayahuasca-induced mystical experiences and the contextual ritualistic settings may contribute to its efficacy in treating conditions such as depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. While highlighting promising results, the sources also acknowledge the limitations of current research, including reliance on self-reporting and the need for standardized efficacy testing.
