Lack of awareness of touch associated with brain damage may transiently recover after stimulation of the vestibular system. We used positron emission tomographic regional cerebral blood flow measurements to study the neurophysiological effect of vestibular stimulation on touch imperception in a subject with a right brain lesion. We tested the hypothesis that the vestibular system aids conscious...

Thin titanium films have been bombarded with low energy (350 eV) deuterium ions at high current density (0.2-0.4 mA.cm2) to investigate the reported occurrence of nuclear reactions at ambient temperatures in deuterium charged metals. A silicon charged particle detector was used to search for charged particles produced by such reactions. Evidence is reported for the detection of hydrogen...

IN attempts to work out possible mechanisms of action of the hallucinogenic drugs, it would be helpful to know which chemical groups modify their activity. In the methoxylated amphetamines, some methoxy groups may act as electrostatic binding sites and some may effect the shape and energy distribution of the π cloud. It may also be important to know whether the amino group is necessary for...

THE actions of hallucinogenic agents have been correlated with Hückel molecular orbital calculations of the π-elections^1 and with fluorescent properties^2. The Hückel correlations on three methoxylated amphetamines indicated that hallucinogenic activity correlated with energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital^1.

This Special Issue of Neuropharmacology on psychedelics provides a timely and comprehensive update on progress following the previous Neuropharmacology Special Issue “ Psychedelics: New Doors, Altered Perceptions ” . Remarkable advances have been made in basic and clinical research on psychedelics in the five years since 2018. It is partly based on the seminar series focused on psilocybin...
