Abstract
Highly significant differences were found between subjects tested on the Porteus Maze Test in the normal state and those tested under either 75 or 100 [mu]g LSD-25. The differences were related to a lack of the ability to carry out well-planned and adaptive behavior under the drug. The marked effect under a relatively light dose was taken to indicate an extreme sensitivity of the function to lysergic acid diethylamide. Similarities between LSD results and those found with lobotomy patients were discussed.Keywords
