His study also helps settle a decades-long debate, providing further evidence that LSD does, in fact, mirror the symptoms and chemical activity found in the brains of schizophrenics.

So then I guess my friends were right when they told me I would go crazy taking that much LSD.

The thing about LSD is that you have to hold on to the notion that you ARE going to come down. Schizophrenics don't have that, they never come down.

I also don't think it is anywhere near equivalent, just an interesting concurrence of certain features that doesn't surprise me a bit.

When mice under the influence of LSD were given a second drug targeting only the glutamate receptor, it neutralised the hallucinogenic effect of the LSD, said the study, published in the British journal Nature.




Anyone know how you can tell a tripping mouse from a sober mouse?

There's no way to tell exactly. Drug discrimination seems to give us a good idea though. I believe this laboratory uses the head-twitch response as a marker of 5-HT2A activation, which isn't specific to hallucinogens.

...most subjects find the experience valuable, some find it frightening, and many say that is it uniquely lovely.
