Mescaline hemi‐sulphate (35 mg/kg body weight) was injected intraperitoneally into male mice ( Mus musculus ) from seven genetically diverse laboratory strains. The effect of mescaline was found by comparison of the emotional defaecation and open field activity of mice after mescaline injection with the performance of the same mice after a subsequent saline (0.9% w/v NaCl solution) control...
Males from the following strains were surveyed with respect to their hexobarbitone sleeping time: A2G, C57BR, C3H, F/st, CBA, ICFW and Schneider. Males from the same strains had previously been surveyed with respect to the inhibitory effect of mescaline on their emotional defaecation. There is a strong interstrain correlation between the 2 measures. This correlation was unexpected on...
