The 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B receptors of serotonin play important roles as auto-and heteroreceptors controlling the release of serotonin itself and of other neurotransmitters/ modulators in the central nervous system (CNS). To determine the precise localization of these receptors, we examined their respec

The anatomical localization of 5-HT(4) receptor mRNA and 5-HT(4) receptor protein was examined in sections of post-mortem human brain by in situ hybridization histochemistry and radioligand receptor autoradiography. In the in situ hybridization study, the highest levels of 5-HT(4) receptor mRNA were
As a prerequisite to pharmacological analysis of the excitatory effects of serotonin (5-HT) on piriform pyramidal cells and interneurons, this study first examined the physiological characteristics of these two cell types. Intracellular recordings confirmed that the subpopulation of 5-HT-activated c
