  • Title: Effect of mescaline on single cortical neurones.
    Author: Bradshaw CM, Roberts MH, Szabadi E.
    Journal: Br J Pharmacol; 1971 Dec; 43(4):871-3. PubMed ID: 4402985.
    Abstract:
    The effects of mescaline upon single cortical neurones were studied, using the microiontophoretic technique. Mescaline elicited excitatory and depressant responses similar to those evoked by noradrenaline (NA) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HI). The responses to NA and mescaline were usually in the same direction, the neurone being either excited by both drugs or depressed by both drugs. The correlation between the effects of mescaline and 5-HT, however, was less consistent. The beta-adrenoceptor blocking agent MJ-1999 and the 5-HT antagonist methysergide were both effective in antagonizing mescaline responses.
