5-MeO-DMT induces NEIL3-independent acute cell proliferation in the adult dentate gyrus

Molecular Brain July 24, 2026 Rafael V Lima Da Cruz, Richardson N. Leão, Thiago C. Moulin

Abstract Adult dentate gyrus neurogenesis and cell proliferation are regulated by multiple physiological inputs, including experience-dependent signals that have been linked to the DNA glycosylase NEIL3. Whether NEIL3 also gates psychedelic-induced proliferation is unknown. Here we tested the effect of a single dose of 5-methoxy-N, N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT), a serotonergic agonist with...
