Central Nervous Effects of Lsd-25

چکیده
In the majority of chapters of this book, the psychotomimetic, psychedelic, and hallucinogenic effects of LSD-25, and in this connection, the possible beneficial and damaging actions of this drug, have been described and discussed. Such considerations belong in the realm of the psychiatrist, psychologist, sociologist, geneticist, and possibly even the theologian and student of mysticism. In the present chapter, we shall look at LSD-25 from the point of view of the neurophysiologist and neuropharmacologist, investigators who are interested in understanding how the central nervous system (CNS) works and how drugs act on this substrate.
