A citation inaccuracy has been pointed out in the article titled “The pharmacological interaction of compounds in ayahuasca: a systematic review”, by Ruffell et al., recently published in the Brazilian Journal of Psychiatry (http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1516-4446-2020-0884) in ahead of print mode. In section “Description of studies,” subsection “The pharmacological interaction between DMT and MAOs,” fifth paragraph, the authors cite:
“Morales-García et al.28 studied the impact of harmala alkaloids (vs. a saline control sample) on human hippocampal tissue in vitro, finding that harmine triggers neurogenesis in stem cells.”
In fact, the tissues used in the cited study by Morales-García et al. was not obtained from humans, but rather from mice. Therefore, the sentence should read as follows:
“Morales-García et al.28 studied the impact of harmala alkaloids (vs. a saline control sample) on murine hippocampal tissue in vitro, finding that harmine triggers neurogenesis in stem cells.”
