The clinical pharmacology and potential therapeutic applications of 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT). [PDF]
J Neurochem, 2022 5‐methoxy‐N,N‐dimethyltryptamine (5‐MeO‐DMT) is a naturally occurring tryptamine that primarily acts as an agonist at the 5‐HT1A and 5‐HT2A receptors, whereby affinity for the 5‐HT1A subtype is highest. Studies have suggested that single exposure to 5‐MeO‐DMT can cause rapid and sustained reductions in symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. 5‐MeO‐

Impact of the Aversive Effects of Drugs on Their Use and Abuse
Behavioural Neurology, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Drug use and abuse are complex issues in that the basis of each may involve different determinants and consequences, and the transition from one to the other may be equally multifaceted. A recent model of the addiction cycle (as proposed by Koob and his colleagues) illustrates how drug‐taking patterns transition from impulsive (acute use) to compulsive

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 31, Issue 4, Page 948-963, April 2021., 2021 Abstract Invaders affect native species across multiple trophic levels, influencing the structure and stability of freshwater communities. Based on the ‘trophic position hypothesis’, invaders at the top of the food web are more harmful to native species via direct and indirect effects than trophically analogous native predators are. However, introduced

Sex and weaponry: The distribution of toxin-storage glands on the bodies of male and female cane toads (Rhinella marina). [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2017 Male and female cane toads differ in the distribution of toxin‐containing glands in different areas of the body. That divergence may reflect ecological and behavioral differences that have acted as selective forces on toxin‐gland location. Abstract The parotoid macroglands of bufonid anurans store (and can expel) large volumes of toxic secretions and ...
