mescaline and Movement Disorders

mescaline has been researched along with Movement Disorders in 5 studies

Mescaline: Hallucinogenic alkaloid isolated from the flowering heads (peyote) of Lophophora (formerly Anhalonium) williamsii, a Mexican cactus used in Indian religious rites and as an experimental psychotomimetic. Among its cellular effects are agonist actions at some types of serotonin receptors. It has no accepted therapeutic uses although it is legal for religious use by members of the Native American Church.
mescaline : A phenethylamine alkaloid that is phenethylamine substituted at positions 3, 4 and 5 by methoxy groups.

Movement Disorders: Syndromes which feature DYSKINESIAS as a cardinal manifestation of the disease process. Included in this category are degenerative, hereditary, post-infectious, medication-induced, post-inflammatory, and post-traumatic conditions.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Motor impairment, especially ataxia, is often mentioned as a 'side effect' of doses of psychoactive drugs which depress animal behaviour; it is difficult to determine it accurately from visual observation, but relatively few attempts have been made to measure it objectively and quantitatively."1.27Mescaline-induced motor impairment in rats, assessed by two different methods. ( Sykes, EA, 1986)
