ABSTRACT. Evidence as to the existence of various altered states of consciousness are referred to from various fields of research. The effect of mental and physiological states on learning and retrieving is also documented. This evidence is combined to shed a new light on problems in patient education. Problems here are usually explained as stemming from various intellectual or motivational...

Ritanserin (0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mg/kg s.c.), a selective serotonin (5-HT2) receptor antagonist, produced a dose-dependent inhibition of the head-twitch response induced in mice by phencyclidine (PCP) and 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeODMT). In contrast, ritanserin, dose dependently increased PCP- and 5-MeODMT-induced head-weaving. There was a significant inverse relationship...

The dose-dependent effects of phencyclidine were examined in guinea pig hippocampal slices using intracellular and extracellular recordings. Orthodromically evoked population potentials from the CA1 cell body layer were enhanced by low doses (0.2-0.4 microM) and depressed by high doses (0.01-10 mM). Medium doses of the drug (2.0-10.0 microM) showed little effect. Intracellular recordings from...

The significance of Castaneda's account of reported experiences with Don Juan Matus is explored for transpersonal psychology. It is argued that the Don Juan chronicle cannot be a literally true account. Yet, I contend that Castaneda tries to discuss seriolus issues allegorically. On the content level, the message is said to consist of several of Don Juan's teachings. I argue that the manner of...

(+/-)-3,4-Methylenedioxymethylamphetamine (MDMA) was administered s.c. to rats (10, 20 or 40 mg/kg b. wt.) and guinea pigs (20 mg/kg) twice a day for 4 days, 2 weeks before decapitation. Norepinephrine, dopamine and serotonin (5-HT) levels were assayed in the hippocampus, hypothalamus, striatum and neocortex. In rats, MDMA produced dose-dependent reductions in 5-HT in all brain regions...

Two kinds of electrical stimulation, low frequency stimulation (5 Hz, 1 msec, 5 pulses, every 20 sec) and high frequency stimulation (30 Hz, 0.1 msec, 20 pulses, every 20 sec), produced contractions in isolated guinea-pig vas deferens. These responses were blocked by alpha, beta-methylene-ATP, but not prazosin. Phentolamine potentiated the contractions produced by low frequency stimulation,...

The present contribution to the phenomenology of witchcraft will depend for its data on the traditional conceptions, rites, and folklore of witchcraft among the Inuit (Eskimo) of Čanada and Greenland. A phenomenological definition of witchcraft may be obtained through recognition of its position within Inuit religion. Like many native North Americans, the Inuit epitomized their religion in the...

In experiments with both rats and mice the 5-HT agonists 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) and 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyl-tryptamine (5-MeODMT) were shown to produce reliable analgesic effects after acute administration (1 mg/kg SC) in the tail-flick, hot-plate and shock-titration tests of nociception. Prior treatment with the noradrenaline neurotoxin,...

The effect of the selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonists ICS 205-930 and MDL 72222 on head shaking behavior induced by L-5-HTP and behavioral symptoms induced with 5-methoxy-N,N,-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeODMT) in rats was evaluated. Both drugs dose-dependently reduced L-5-HTP-induced head shaking but were at least 600 times less potent than pirenperone and ketanserin and at least 50 times less...
