Abstract

The action of JB-336, psilocybin, ibogaine and bufotenine on the aggressiveness os isolated mice, as well as the muricide reaction of rats, was investigated. All drugs evoked a substantial decrease in aggressiveness, but this effect was dependent on isolation time, time after injection and the type of test used.
