A test-tube study indicated that DMT protected human brain cells from damage caused by lack of oxygen and increased cell survival.

It has also been observed to increase levels of brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF) and a protein that plays an important role in nerve cell growth and promotes nerve cell survival.

Additionally, a test-tube study demonstrated that exposure to harmine increased the growth of human neural progenitor cells by over 70% in 4 days. These cells generate the growth of new neural cells in your brain.
