Collection of papers presented at the third neuropharmacology conference; editor Harold A. Abramson was a physician notable as an early proponent of LSD therapy, and for his involvement in psychedelic research conducted through the CIA's notorious MKUltra human experimentation program.

Jarvik's "Effect of LSD-25 on Snails." With eight other papers on sundry neuropharmacological topics. A suitable reference copy, priced accordingly, and in need of a good airing out.
