Abramson, Harold Alexander, Jarvik, Murray E. (1955) Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD-25): IX. Effect on snails. Journal of Psychology: Interdisciplinary and Applied, 40. pp. 337-340.
Abstract
"Certain species of snails are at least as sensitive to lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD-25) as are the Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens). Ambularia cuprina (Mystery Snail) responds to LSD-25 with a typical, persistent, disorganized movement of the gastropod. This movement persists many hours and markedly alters the behavior of the snail. D-1-bromlysergic acid diethylamide (BOL-148) does not show the same effect. The snail may be used to assay LSD-25 under certain conditions." (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2005 APA, all rights reserved).
