摘要: The visions of dream sleep are suggested to occur through a mechanism which implicates tryptamine derivatives as endogenous paychedelics. hallucinations that in some schizophrenic syndromes also proposed similar, though desynchronized, mechanism. These compounds the human pineal gland and regarded neurotransmitters or neuroregulators. A protocol for experimental verification is suggested.
