This effect was observed even with doses as small as 2.5x10-6 g/ml 5-HT. . This potentiating effect of 5-HT was abolished by instillation of 10-5 g/ml LSD before or after 5-HT. . The authors suspect that 5-HT may not act as a transmitter substance in the central nervous system but may regulate the sensitivity of certain cholinergic synapses.
