Based on fieldwork with Vegetal preparations in the UDV, the effects of Hoasca are not attributed exclusively to DMT in Psychotria Viridis and the beta-carbolines in Banisteriopsis Caapi, but to mutual learning between human and plant intelligences. This view aligns with Indigenous perspectives in which ayahuasca is seen as a being whose therapeutic action depends on relationships among humans and with other beings. Recent neuroscience studies present ayahuasca as a promising next-generation antidepressant, conceptualizing depression as an imbalance in brain monoamines and evaluating antidepressant effects through interactions between DMT/beta-carbolines and serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine.
