Serotonin-immunoreactive neurons and endogenous serotonin in the opisthosomal ventral nerve cord of the horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus

Immunocytochemical studies of the 5-HT1A

Immunocytochemical studies of the 5-HT1A receptor in ventral medullary neurons that project to the intermediolateral cell column and contain serotonin or tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactivity

Activation of serotonin-1A receptors (5-HT 1A R) in the medulla oblongata lowers sympathetic nerve discharge and blood pressure. Binding sites for 5-HT 1A R ligands are present in ventral medullary nuclei [e.g., rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM), raphe pallidus (RPa), and parapyramidal region (PP
