The intracranial injection of drugs in goldfish. I: Hallucinogens and their antagonism to smooth muscle activity

Journal of Asthma Research 1979 Harold A. Abramson, H. H. Gettner, P. A. Carone et al. 4 citations

A simplified method of studying the surfacing reaction of goldfish to hallucinogens is described. Goldfish weighing up to three grams are injected intracranially. Employing this method, d-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD-25), d-2-acetyl lysergic acid diethylamide (ALD-52), 1-methyl d-lysergic acid butano-lamide (UML-491), and 5-methoxy dimethyl tryptamine (5-MEO-DMT) were found to be as...

XXXVIII. Comparison with Action of Methysergide and Psilocybin on Test Subjects

Journal of Asthma Research 1965 Harold A. Abramson, Anabela P. Rolo 21 citations

This paper is a continuation of our experiments with LSD-25 and similar compounds that have been carried out for the last thirteen years.1 It employs the same technique described previously2 to compare these drugs on non-psychotic test subjects under suitable conditions. The conditions of the experiment are most important because under certain circumstances the experimental milieu produces so...

Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD-25) Antagonists

A M A Archives of Neurology & Psychiatry February 1, 1958 Harold A. Abramson 31 citations

A. Introduction It has been shown1,2that 2 mg. of crude beef brain extract per milliliter of water blocks the usual effect of 2μg of LSD-25 per milliliter in the outside liquid on the Siamese fighting fish.* The experiments to be reported here are the study of a blocking effect probably produced by another mechanism: the development of tolerance3to LSD-25 in man by the prior administration for...

Comparative subjective effects of seven drugs including lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD-25).

Journal of Abnormal & Social Psychology November 1, 1955 Murray E. Jarvik, Harold A. Abramson, Martin Hirsch 32 citations

Five Ss were tested on nine occasions under two placebos of tap water and under an average effective dose of 7 drugs--ergometerine (Ergonovine), ethyl alcohol, scopolamine (hyroscine), d-1-brom lysergic acid diethylamide (BOL-148), methamphetamine hydrochloride (Methedrine or Pervitin), lysergic acid monoethylamide (LAE-32), and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD-25) during 9 different...

Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (Lsd-25): Ix. Effect on Snails

The Journal of Psychology October 1, 1955 Harold A. Abramson, Murray E. Jarvik 10 citations

"Certain species of snails are at least as sensitive to lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD-25) as are the Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens). Ambularia cuprina (Mystery Snail) responds to LSD-25 with a typical, persistent, disorganized movement of the gastropod. This movement persists many hours and markedly alters the behavior of the snail. D-1-bromlysergic acid diethylamide (BOL-148) does...
