“The possible role of tryptamine in brain function and its relationship to the actions of LSD - like hallucinogens”. 
Mount Sinai Journal of Medicine.. 1974;41(2):276-282.
Abstract
The possible role of tryptamine in brain function and its relationship to the actions of LSD like hallucinogens are discussed Data from several studies support the hypothesis that LSD and related hallucinogens exert many of their effects by serving as agonists of a -tryptamine receptor Data in man suggest that tryptamine could play a role in the pathologic functioning of.the brain, for the.infusion of relatively large quantities of tryptamine produces changes.similar to those produced by LSD, including perceptual distortions. It is con - eluded that tryptamine may play.a role in.the normally func - tioning brain and when present in excessively hugh quantities, may be responsible for pathologic functioning. 22 references.
