Functional Consequences and Mechanism of Lsd Action in the Lateral Eye of Limulus

Abstract

dc:description

I have used an electrophysiological approach to explore the effects of LSD action on lateral inhibition in the lateral eye of Limulus. I recorded extracellular and intracellular responses from eccentric cells while producing inhibition via light and antidromic stimulation in the presence of 5-HT, LSD, chlorimipramine, and a bathing medium high in Mg('++) and low in Ca('++) which partially or completely blocks synaptic transmission.
