Abstract
Intracerebral injection of LSD in dogs (20-140 mcg.) and cats (34-210 mcg.) caused profound activation of the autonomic nervous system, resulting in salivation, retching, micturition and mydriasis with reactive pupils. . In the cats sweating, and hypersensitivity to light, sound and touch were noted. "Sham rage" was not observed, but the animals would attack if continuously irritated. . In the dogs ataxia was observed. . In both cats and dogs LSD induced a fear complex. . The significance of the LSD-induced changes is discussed and the possible brain areas involved in the responses are indicated.
