Two teen-age cases of toxic psychosis associated with gasoline inhalation are described and compared with the so-called "model psychoses" evoked by mescaline, LSD =25 and psilocybin. The symptoms were predominantly autonomic, perceptual and affective. The perceptual experiences included much personnally significant symbolic content. The inhaling of gasoline quickly became a tempting recurrent...

An enzyme has been found that N-methylates serotonin and tryptamine to psychotomimetic metabolites, bufotenine and N,N-dimethyltryptamine. This enzyme is highly localized in the rabbit lung and also N-methylates phenylethylamine derivatives such as tyramine, phenylethylamine, mescaline, and dopamine.

Sernyl was administered to 55 patients, chosen at random from the population of a mental hospital. Its disinhibiting potential appears to be related to the dose. Sernyl in doses of 0.07 mgms/kg administered in 7 minutes by the intravenous route activated the patients specific psychopathology to a greater degree than known psychotomimetics (LSD 25 and Mescaline Sulfate). Physiological and...

Our use of drug-facilitated psychotherapy has been to aid repressed material to become conscious and to increase insight. Any method or tool which facilitates these processes has the possibility of being a valuable psychotherapeutic tool. Certain drugs on which we have done research, such as mescaline, ALD-52, ibogaine, psilocybin, Ditran (N-ethyl-3-piperidyl cyclopentylphenyl glycolate HC1),...

Introduction Various reports1,14have shown that the subjective sense of time can be considerably altered through changes in the external circumstances under which the judgment is made. Somewhat less is known of the influence of the subject’s physical state on his ability to estimate time. This lack may be at least partially due to the fact that most conditions, such as fever or delirium, which...

Abstract The secondary conditioned response has been studied in rats in an experimental avoidance situation. The activity of seventeen drugs has been tested upon the secondary conditioned response developed on a stable basis after an appropriate period of training. Chlorpromazine, promazine, reserpine and morphine block the secondary avoidance conditioned response as well as the usual avoidance...

Introduction The production of model psychoses has been employed as a technique for testing hypotheses relevant to the causes, correlates, and treatment of schizophrenia since 1921, when De Jong demonstrated experimental catatonia by giving bulbocapnine to animals.5This method of study has received considerable impetus with the discovery of the hallucinogenic properties of lysergic acid...
