Interaction of 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C Receptors in R(−)-2,5-Dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine-Elicited Head Twitch Behavior in Mice
Drug-elicited head-twitch behavior is a useful model for studying hallucinogen activity at 5-HT2A receptors in the mouse. Chemically diverse compounds active in this assay yield biphasic dose-effect… Expand

Hallucinogen-like actions of 5-methoxy-N,N-diisopropyltryptamine in mice and rats
Few studies have examined the effects of 5-methoxy-N,N-diisopropyltryptamine (5-MeO-DIPT) in vivo. In these studies, 5-MeO-DIPT was tested in a drug-elicited head twitch assay in mice where it was… Expand
