Further reading:
Neuropharmacology is the study of how drugs affect cellular function in the nervous
system. There are two main branches of neuropharmacology: behavioral and molecular.
Behavioral neuropharmacology focuses on the study of how drugs affect human behavior
(neuropsychopharmacology), including the study of how drug dependence and addiction
affect the human brain. Molecular neuropharmacology involves the study of neurons and
their neurochemical interactions, with the overall goal of developing drugs that have
beneficial effects on neurological function. Both of these fields are closely connected, since
both are concerned with the interactions of neurotransmitters, neuropeptides,
neurohormones, neuromodulators, enzymes, second messengers, co-transporters, ion
channels, and receptor proteins in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Studying
these interactions, researchers are developing drugs to treat many different neurological
disorders, including pain, neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease and
Alzheimer's disease, psychological disorders, addiction, and many others.
Neuropharmacology did not appear in the scientific field until, in the early part of the
20th century, scientists were able to figure out a basic understanding of the nervous system
and how nerves communicate between one another. Before this discovery, there were drugs,
however, that had been found that demonstrated some type of influence on the nervous
system. In the 1930’s, French scientists began working with a compound called
phenothiazine in the hope of synthesizing a drug that would be able to combat malaria.
Though this drug showed very little hope in the use against malaria infected individuals, it
was found to have sedative effects along with what appeared to be beneficial effects toward
patients with Parkinson’s disease. This black box method, where an investigator would
administer a drug and examine the response without knowing how to relate drug action to
patient response, was the main approach to this field, until, in the late 1940s and early
1950s, scientists were able to identify specific neurotransmitters, such as norepinephrine
(involved in the constriction of blood vessels and the increase in heart rate and blood
pressure), dopamine (the chemical whose shortage is involved in Parkinson’s disease), and
serotonin (soon to be recognized as deeply connected to depression). In the 1950s, scientists
also became better able to measure levels of specific neurochemicals in the body and thus
correlate these levels with behavior. The invention of the voltage clamp in 1949 allowed for
the study of ion channels and the nerve action potential. These two major historical events
in neuropharmacology allowed scientists not only to study how information is transferred
from one neuron to another, but also how a neuron processes this information within itself.

Further reading
Aplastic anemia is a condition where bone marrow does not produce sufficient new cells to
replenish blood cells. The condition, per its name, involves both aplasia /әˈpleɪzɪә/ and
anemia. Typically, anemia refers to low red blood cell counts, but aplastic anemia patients
have lower counts of all three blood cell types: red blood cells, white blood cells, and
platelets, termed pancytopenia.
Signs and symptoms
•
•
•
•
Anemia with malaise, pallor and associated symptoms such as palpitations
Thrombocytopenia /ˌθrɒmbәʊˌsaɪtәʊˈpi:nɪә/(low platelet counts), leading to increased
risk of hemorrhage, bruising and petechiae (petechia: /pǺɑti:kǺə/ n pl -chiae /-kǺɕi:/)
Leukopenia /ˌlu:kәʊˈpi:nɪә/(low white blood cell count), leading to increased risk of
infection
Reticulocytopenia (low reticulocyte counts)
Causes
In many cases, the etiology is considered to be idiopathic (cannot be determined), but one
known cause is an autoimmune disorder in which white blood cells attack the bone marrow.
Aplastic anemia is also sometimes associated with exposure to toxins such as benzene
/ˈbǫnzi:n bǫnˈzi:n/, or with the use of certain drugs, including chloramphenicol
/ˌklɔəræmˈfǫnɪˌkɒl/, carbamazepine /ˌkɑəbәˈmæzәˌpi:n/, felbamate, phenytoin / ˌfǫnɪˈtәʊɪn /,
quinine / kwɪˈni:n (US) ˈkwaɪnaɪn/, and phenylbutazone /ˌfi:naɪlˈbju;tәˌzәʊn/. Many drugs are
associated with aplasia mainly according to case reports but at a very low probability. As an
example, chloramphenicol treatment is followed by aplasia in less than 1 in 40,000
treatment courses, and carbamazepine aplasia is even more rare.
Exposure to ionizing radiation from radioactive materials or radiation-producing devices is
also associated with the development of aplastic anemia.
Aplastic anemia is present in up to 2% of patients with acute viral hepatitis.
In some animals aplastic anemia may have other causes. For example, in the ferret (Mustela
putorius furo) aplastic anemia is caused by estrogen toxicity. This is because female ferrets
are induced ovulators, so mating is required to bring the female out of heat. Intact females,
if not mated, will remain in heat, and after some time the high levels of estrogen will cause
the bone marrow to stop producing red blood cells.
Short-lived aplastic anemia can also be a result of parvovirus infection. In humans the P
antigen (also known as globoside) is the cellular receptor for parvovirus B19 virus that
causes erythema /ǫrɪˈθi:mә/ infectiosum (fifth disease) in children. Parvovirus causes
complete cessation of red blood cell production. In most cases, this goes unnoticed, as red
blood cells live for up to 180 days, and the drop in production does not significantly affect
the total number of circulating red blood cells. In people with conditions where the cells die
early (such as sickle cell disease), however, parvovirus infection can lead to severe anemia.

Further reading:
Lysergic acid diethylamide, abbreviated LSD or LSD-25, also known as lysergide and
colloquially as acid, is a semisynthetic psychedelic drug of the ergoline family, well known
for its psychological effects which can include altered thinking processes, closed and open eye
visuals, synaesthesia, an altered sense of time and spiritual experiences, as well as for its key
role in 1960s counterculture. It is used mainly as an entheogen, recreational drug, and as an
agent in psychedelic therapy. LSD is non-addictive, is not known to cause brain damage, and
has extremely low toxicity relative to dose.
LSD was first synthesized by Albert Hofmann in 1938 from ergotamine, a chemical
derived by Arthur Stoll from ergot, a grain fungus that typically grows on rye. The short form
"LSD" comes from its early code name LSD-25, which is an abbreviation for the German
"Lysergsäure-diethylamid" followed by a sequential number. LSD is sensitive to oxygen,
ultraviolet light, and chlorine, especially in solution, though its potency may last for years if it
is stored away from light and moisture at low temperature. In pure form it is a colorless,
odorless, and mildly bitter solid. LSD is typically delivered orally, usually on a substrate such
as absorbent blotter paper, a sugar cube, or gelatin. In its liquid form, it can also be
administered by intramuscular or intravenous injection. LSD is very potent, with 20–30 µg
(micrograms) being the threshold dose.
Introduced by Sandoz Laboratories, with trade-name Delysid, as a drug with various
psychiatric uses in 1947, LSD quickly became a therapeutic agent that appeared to show great
promise. In the 1950s the CIA thought it might be applicable to mind control and chemical
warfare; the agency's MKULTRA research program propagated the drug among young
servicemen and students. The subsequent recreational use of the drug by youth culture in the
Western world during the 1960s led to a political firestorm that resulted in its prohibition.
Currently, a number of organizations—including the Beckley Foundation, MAPS, Heffter
Research Institute and the Albert Hofmann Foundation—exist to fund, encourage and
coordinate research into the medicinal and spiritual uses of LSD and related psychedelics.
