Abstract
Phencyclidine (PCP) is an abused drug which produces untoward side-effects (violent behavior, hallucinations and paranoia) resembling certain forms of schizophrenia (Rawson et al., 1981). Understanding its mechanism of action may lead to the development of therapies to block its side-effects and may provide a basis for understanding the causes of schizophrenia.
