Solomon Snyder, one of the founders of modern psychopharmacology, reviews Psychedelics, psychosis and dreaming by Allan Hobson, a preeminent and synthetic neuroscientist of consciousness. ” All in all, Hobson succeeds in providing a fresh

perspective on the mental alterations that are

common to dreaming, psychosis and psychedelic drug

actions. The book is written in a lively style with

complex neurophysiologic and pharmacologic analyses

made lucid enough for any intelligent lay reader. It is

one of those rare books that will be of importance to

the most sophisticated researchers and clinical

practitioners and yet an accessible and a fascinating

read for many non-specialists.” Nature Neuroscience
