I am an Anthropologist/Archeologist researching Shamanism and
Altered States of Consciousness. Specifically the neuropsychological
effects of ASC's as represented in the Art and Rituals of the Maya.
Can anyone direct me to recent research by Candice Pert?
I have seen articles on Neurotransmitters and Receptors
from 1986 - 87. Is there anything more recent?
Are the theories on the Body-Mind connection that she
expressed then still considered today?
Briefly the neurotransmitters and receptors
were postulated to be the biological substrate of
shamanic healing(and other Holistic healing).
Does anyone currently work on this topic?
I would appreciate any references or opinions.
General articles would be especially useful as I am getting
beyond my training here.
Thanks,
