5-Methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine: spinal cord and brainstem mediation of excitatory effects on acoustic startle.

abstract：RATIONALE:The intake of psychostimulant drugs may induce cognitive dysfunction and negative affective-like states, and is associated with increased activity of stress-responsive systems. The corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) system mediates neuroendocrine, behavioural and autonomic responses to stressors, and might ...
