Abstract
Meiotic chromosomes of six mice injected with high doses of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD-25) and of six controls were studied. Several breaks, gaps, and unidentifiable fragments were found in the treated but, with a few exceptions, not in the control animals. Secondary constrictions were more numerous in the treated than in the untreated mice. Possible consequences are discussed.Keywords
