title: [Effect of psychotomimetics and haloperidol on head twitching following alcohol withdrawal in mice].
abstract: After ethanol withdrawal dependent mice exhibited head twitching. The frequency of head-twitches was decreased by LSD and mescaline in a dose-dependent manner and increased by small doses of haloperidol and physostigmine. LSD antagonized the potentiating effects of haloperidol and physostigmine. The incidence of head-twitches after intracerebral injections of 5-HT in naive mice was lessened by LSD. The involvement of dopaminergic, serotoninergic, and cholinergic transmission systems in the action of psychotomimetics is discussed.
