Excerpt from Annual Report, Mental Health Intramural Research Program, Vol. 1: Division of Clinical and Behavioral Research, Division of Biological and Biochemical Research, and Division of Special Mental Health Research, July 1, 1974 June 30, 1975, Summary StatementsThe new method offers extraordinary advantages over existing methods of studying brain function, and Dr. Sokoloff and his colleagues are already exploring a number of fascinating problems: for example, (1) how does morphine affect brain function? At what sites does morphine alter activity? (2) lsd induces a psychosis-like state in human subjects, in animals, what does lsd do to brain function? What brain structures show altered activity after administration of lsd? (3) An infusion of epinephrine produces a feeling of anxiety, a kind of artificial or pseudo anxiety. What brain areas are affected? What parts of the brain mediate the experience of anxiety? The number of problems important to mental health which can be studied by this method is almost endless. It has elicited wide interest from research laboratories in many countries, a number of which have sent staff members to Dr. Sokoloff's Laboratory to take part in his research and learn the new method.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
