Pharmacology of Hallucinations: Several Mechanisms for One Single Symptom?
Hallucinations are complex misperceptions, that principally occur in schizophrenia or after intoxication induced by three main classes of drugs: psychostimulants, psychedelics, and dissociative anesthetics. There are at least three different pharmacological ways to induce hallucinations: (1) activation of dopamine D2 receptors (D2Rs) with psychostimulants, (2) activation of serotonin 5HT2A rece...
متن کاملMechanisms of Hallucinations
The theories that have been evolved for an understanding of hallucinatory phenomena have frequently stressed one set of factors to the exclusion of others. They have stressed either psychological or physiological factors, "peripheral" or "central" factors, sensory or motor factors, cortical or subcortical mechanisms. In recent years, however, it has been generally recognized that all these fact...

متن کاملOne Reason, Several Logics
Humans have used arguments for defending or refuting statements long before the creation of logic as a specialized discipline. This can be interpreted as the fact that an intuitive notion of “logical consequence” or a psychic disposition to articulate reasoning according to this pattern is present in common sense, and logic simply aims at describing and codifying the features of this spontaneou...
متن کاملPerspectives in Pharmacology Mechanisms of Endocannabinoid Inactivation: Biochemistry and Pharmacology
The endocannabinoids, a family of endogenous lipids that activate cannabinoid receptors, are released from cells in a stimulus-dependent manner by cleavage of membrane lipid precursors. After release, the endocannabinoids are rapidly deactivated by uptake into cells and enzymatic hydrolysis. Endocannabinoid reuptake occurs via a carrier-mediated mechanism, which has not yet been molecularly cha...
