The serotonin receptor type 2A (5-HT2A) is a primary candidate for involvement in major psychoses. Polymorphisms within the 5-HT2A gene have recently been reported to be associated with a variety of psychopathological conditions. In the present study, we investigated the potential influence of the T

There is evidence indicating that density of 5-HT2A receptors is altered in brain regions of depressed suicide victims and in platelets of suicidal subjects with major depression or schizophrenia. Recent studies have also shown an association between the allele C of 102T/C polymorphism in the 5-HT2A
## Abstract The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying binge eating disorder (BED) are poorly understood. There is evidence that abnormalities in brain serotonin (5HT) play an important role in binge eating behavior, therefore genes involved in 5HT transmission, such as the 5HT transporter (5HTT)
The specificity of cytoarchitectural abnormalities in limbic structures of patients with schizophrenia and their contributions towards the etiology of schizophrenia remain unknown. We have recently reported an increased breakdown of nonerythroid ␣-spectrin (fodrin), a major component of neuronal cyt
