It did not cover, for example, adrenochrome, featured in the film Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. |
Unlike the dopamine hypothesis, the adrenochrome hypothesis accounts for many biochemical patterns common among schizophrenic patients. |
To further our understanding of the psychology of schizophrenia, our biochemical team worked on adrenochrome, to establish how it was made and what it did. |
We contended that in schizophrenic patients there was an abnormal production of adrenochrome, a derivative of adrenaline, and that this played a role in the genesis of the condition. |
Three questions presented themselves: was adrenochrome really formed in the body, was it a hallucinogen and would an antidote be therapeutic for these patients? |
