Possible involvement of serotonin receptors in the facilitatory effect of a hallucinogenic phenethylamine on single facial motoneurons.
Canadian journal of physiology and pharmacology October 1986 N J Penington, R J Reiffenstein
2,5-Dimethoxy-4-methylamphetamine (DOM, "STP") is a potent hallucinogen, proposed to be a serotonin receptor agonist. Its effects have not previously been tested upon central neurons where serotonin is excitatory and serotonin antagonists are effective. Extracellular single unit recordings were obtained from facial motoneurons in anaesthetized rats, and drugs were applied from five-barrelled...
