    • Head-twitch induced by lysergic acid diethylamide, mescaline and 2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylamphetamine (DOM) was significantly increased by medial raphe (m-R) lesions, but dorsal raphe (d-R) lesions did not produce any changes. Hallucinogen-induced head twitch was inhibited by methysergide and tended to be increased by PCPA. These results suggest that 5-HT receptors innervated with the ascending 5-HT pathway originating in the m-R play a vital role in the manifestation of hallucinogen-induced head… CONTINUE READING
