The influence of mescaline on the flexor reflex of the hind limb of the spinal rat

In spinal rats, mescaline dose-dependently depressed the flexor reflex of the hind limb. The effect was partially reversed by the serotonin antagonist methysergide, suggesting involvement of serotonergic mechanisms. No other drugs or behavioral measures were tested.
