Matthew Oram, The Trials of Psychedelic Therapy: LSD Psychotherapy in America
For scholars such as Erika Dyck or Stephen Siff, though public discourses about LSD were complex, a decisive shift was seen from 1966 as LSD transitioned from a medical marvel to a demonised molecule.1 Even Albert Hofmann, the first person to synthesise and ingest LSD-25, suggested that a ‘veritable LSD hysteria reigned’.2 It was this hysteria, manifest in broader social, cultural and political responses to the drug—including its criminalisation—…
‘Not … Like a Rum-Ration’: Amphetamine Sulphate, the Royal Navy, and the Evolution of Policy and Medical Research during the Second World War
This article explores the evolution of the Royal Navy’s policy relating to the use of amphetamines during the Second World War. This discussion, which demonstrates the groundbreaking yet restrictive nature of naval drug policy, is placed in the wider context of medical research in the Royal Navy during the conflict, in which the organisation was the last of the Services to develop its own personnel research committee. In turn, the article examine…
The Royal Air Force, Bomber Command and the Use of Benzedrine Sulphate: An Examination of Policy and Practice During the Second World War
This article explores the development of policy in the Royal Air Force (RAF) relating to the use of Benzedrine, a potent amphetamine, by aircrews during the Second World War. This policy evolved from total prohibition in September 1939 to cautious approval for the use of the drug on operations in November 1942. Such caution reflected the subjective evidence available about Benzedrine, the media profile of the substance, and wider social and cultu…
A chronic implant for recording of cochlear potentials in primates
A new technique for the continuous recording of peripheral bioelectrical activity in the auditory system of primates is described. Because of basic differences in the anatomy of the temporal bone, the approach to the round window of the cochlea is more difficult in most primates than in lower animals. A relatively simple surgical approach, which made possible the placement of an electrode into the perilymph of the inner ear via the well‐demarcate…
