The present studies have shown that chronic antidepressant treatment with desipramine (DMI), imipramine (IMI) and zimelidine produced behavioral evidence for sub- and supersensitivity depending on 5-HT agonist dose and types of behavior examined. Thus, chronic treatment with all three drugs reduced head twitches induced by a high dose of the 5-HT agonist 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine...

The effects of intraperitoneal injections of increasing doses of apomorphine, clonidine or 5-methoxy-NN-dimethyltryptamine (5-m-DMT) on approach and escape reactions induced by lateral hypothalamic (LH) or mesencephalic central gray (CG) stimulation were compared in BALB/c and DBA/2 mice. Apomorphine increased both the approach latency for LH stimulation and the escape latency for CG...

The discriminative effects of 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-OMeDMT) were studied in rats trained to discriminate 1.5 mg/kg or 3.0 mg/kg 5-OMeDMT from saline. A series of antagonist and generalization tests revealed that (1) antagonism of the 5-OMeDMT stimulus response by the presumed serotonin antagonist BC-105 depended on the dose of 5-OMeDMT, (2) the 5-OMeDMT stimulus generalized to...

The effects of 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeODMT), a serotonin agonist with a preferential action on presynaptic autoreceptors, on prolactin release in male rats was determined. Basal serum prolactin levels were not altered after administration of 1.0, 2.0, 5.0, 10.0 or 20.0 mg/kg of 5-MeODMT. Pretreatment with 5-MeODMT reduced prolactin release by agents that depend on serotonergic...

The symptoms of depersonalization are examined in the light of the phenomenological views evolved by Franz Brentano. He had come to the conclusion that our conscious experiences are primarily directed towards objects (contents) that are ‘phenomenal’ or ‘intentional’ in the sense that they do not necessarily have counterparts in the external world. In experiencing such an object, a person...

A comparison was made of the effects of 5-MeoDMT or LSD on serotonergic unit activity in the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) and nucleus raphe pallidus (NRP) of freely moving cats. NRP neurons were substantially less responsive than DRN neurons to both drugs. NRP neurons were unresponsive to behaviorally effective low doses of these drugs whereas the activity of DRN neurons was strongly depressed....

Researchers in psychology of religion in America and Britain have inherited the theoretical and research traditions established by W. James, S. Freud and J. Dittes. New nomothetic or theoretical frameworks have been called for in order to organize a plethora of idiographic data. A response to the call has been slow, but Paul Pruyser designated at least six areas in which the development of...

Slices of rat hypothalamus prelabeled with [3H]-5-hydroxytryptamine ([3H]-5-HT) were superfused and the release of the labeled transmitter was elicited either by electrical stimulation or by fenfluramine. Whereas the electrically stimulated release of [3H]-5-HT was completely abolished by removing calcium from the superfusion medium, the fenfluramine-induced release of [3H]-5-HT was...

Ten college-educated young adults (four sighted, four congenitally blind, and two adventitiously blind) were studied in a sleep laboratory one night a week for 8 weeks. Dream reports were collected from electroencephalogram-defined sleep onset, rapid eye movement sleep, and non-rapid eye movement sleep, following a standard awakening schedule and interview format. Dream reports were analyzed in...

The effects of diazepam quipazine, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), and 2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylamphetamine (DOM) were examined on a conditioned suppression paradigm. Food-deprived rats were trained to drink a liquid diet from a tube. Subsequently, intermittent 7-s tones were presented during the daily 10-min sessions, the tube being electrified during the last 5 s of each tone. The subject...
