In the present study, the ability of 5-hydroxytryptamine-4 (5-HT 4 ) receptors in the hippocampus to enhance locomotor activity in rats was investigated by local infusion via microdialysis probes. The local infusion of 5-HT bilaterally into the striatum did not alter rat motor activity. The local in

The distribution of 5-HT 2A receptors in rat cortex was evaluated using newly developed antibodies. Each of three antibodies tested identified an identical pattern of 5-HT 2A -like immunoreactivity (5-HT 2A -li) in rat cortex with 5-HT 2A -li showing a widespread distribution. The majority of 5-HT 2
The present experiments tested the hypothesis that one of the critical mechanisms underlying genetically defined aggressiveness involves brain serotonin 5-HT 1A receptors. 5-HT 1A receptor density, the receptor mRNA expression in brain structures, and functional correlates for 5-HT 1A receptors iden
Cocaine induces an increase in hippocampal and nucleus accumbens (Nac) serotonin (5-HT) concentration parallel to locomotor activation. Both effects can be modulated by systemic 5-HT 1A -receptor agonism/antagonism. Given the contribution of the hippocampus to spontaneous behavioral activity, these
Flibanserin (BIMT 17) has been described as a 5-HT 1A agonist with preferential affinity for postsynaptic 5-HT 1A receptors and as a 5-HT 2A antagonist. Indeed, using the forskolin-stimulated cAMP accumulation technique, flibanserin but not the 5-HT 1A agonists buspirone and 8-OH-DPAT had agonistic
