[f. as next + -genic.]
= psychotomimetic a.
1956Arch. Neurol. & Psychiatry LXXV. 122/1 To the neurologist the psychotogenic agents offer a special challenge. 1962Lancet 27 Jan. 200/2 There is impressive evidence of the psychotogenic effects of some adrenaline derivatives. 1971Nature 19 Nov. 152/2 The differential behavioural response of subjects to d and l-amphetamine might provide clues to psychotogenic mechanisms.
Hence (as back-formations) psyˈchotogen, a psychotomimetic substance; psyˌchotoˈgenesis, the production of a psychosis or psychosis-like state.
1959Neuropharmacology: Trans. 4th Conf., 1957 223 Relationship between endogenous substances that are found in the brain—epinephrine, norepinephrine, and..serotonin—and the possible relationship to the exogenous psychotogens. 1960Clin. Pharmacol. & Therapeutics I. 251/2 The recovery of a chronically psychotic patient coincidentally with the administration of some drug is as dramatic as..the drug-induced psychosis. Recovery, however, is an even less satisfactory foundation for a psychopharmacologic theory than is psychotogenesis. 1971Nature 19 Nov. 152/2 If noradrenergic mechanisms and behaviourally correlated motor stimulation were critical in psychotogenesis then one might expect d-amphetamine to have ten times the potency of the l form in inducing psychosis as a behavioural effect. 1974M. C. Gerald Pharmacol. xvii. 318 Drugs in this same category are also termed hallucinogens, psychedelics, psychotogens, psychodysleptics, and so forth. 1976Nature 8 Apr. 490/1 For many years the presence of an endogenous psychotogen in schizophrenia has been sought. 1977Lancet 27 Aug. 449/2 Further study of psychotogenesis and of the relation between morphinoids and endogenous neurotransmitters and neuromodulators will probably..clarify the biochemistry both of addiction and of schizophrenia. |
