Here we review and discuss the relevant literature, focusing on remyelination and metabolic restoration. We provide evidence that ibogaine upregulates markers of myelination following opioid administration; that conditions such as opioid use disorder, MS and traumatic brain injury are characterised by white matter pathology; that decreased myelination is related to dysregulated metabolic homeostasis, ischaemia and hypoxia which may also play a role in these disorders.
