Autoradiographic studies on the distribution of 3H-mescaline in the brain of the marmoset, Callithrix jacchus
Psychopharmacology January 1, 1976 DOI: 10.1007/bf00421558 via OpenAlex
Summary
AI-generated from the abstractAutoradiographs of the marmoset brain reveal strong labeling of the hippocampus and the amygdala 18 hours after injection of tritium-labeled mescaline, indicating that mescaline or its metabolites accumulate in these brain regions. A similar pattern was previously observed in the mouse brain.

Abstract
Autoradiographs of the brain of the marmoset, Callithrix jacchus, show a strong labeling of the hippocampus and the N. amygdalae 18 h after injection of 3H-mescaline. A similar characteristic autoradiographic pattern was previously found in the mouse brain, too.
