Cerebral 5-HT2A receptor binding is increased in patients with Tourette's syndrome.
Experimental and clinical data have suggested that abnormalities in the serotonergic neurotransmissions in frontal-subcortical circuits are involved in Tourette's syndrome. To test the hypothesis that the brain's 5-HT2A receptor binding is increased in patients with Tourette's syndrome, PET imaging was performed. Twenty adults with Tourette's syndrome and 20 healthy control subjects were invest...
متن کاملDecreased 5-HT2a receptor binding in patients with anorexia nervosa.
UNLABELLED Indirect estimations of brain neurotransmitters in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) and low weight have demonstrated a reduction in brain serotonin (5-HT) turnover in general and led to hypotheses about dysfunction in the 5-HT(2a) receptor system. It was our aim to investigate the central 5-HT(2a) receptor binding index using SPECT brain imaging. METHODS The 5-HT(2a) receptors o...
متن کاملPatients with obsessive-compulsive disorder have increased 5-HT2A receptor binding in the caudate nuclei.
The pharmacological efficacy of serotonergic-acting drugs suggest that patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) may have alterations in their cerebral serotonergic (5-HT) receptor system, and previous neuroimaging studies of OCD patients have shown abnormalities in several fronto-subcortical regions. In this study we investigated cerebral 5-HT(2A) receptor binding in 15 untreated OCD p...
متن کاملHT2A Receptor Binding is Increased in Borderline ersonality Disorder
ackground: Postmortem studies in suicide victims demonstrate an increase in the number of post-synaptic 5-HT2A receptor binding sites in entral lateral and orbital frontal cortex. Diminished metabolic responses to serotonergic activation are noted in these areas in impulsive subjects ith borderline personality disorder (BPD), a group at high risk for suicidal behaviors. We examined 5HT2A recept...
متن کاملReduced 5-HT2A receptor binding after recovery from anorexia nervosa.
BACKGROUND Several lines of evidence suggest that a disturbance of serotonin neuronal pathways may contribute to the pathogenesis of anorexia nervosa (AN). This study applied positron emission tomography (PET) to investigate the brain serotonin 2A (5HT2A) receptor, which could contribute to disturbances of appetite and behavior in AN. METHODS To avoid the confounding effects of malnutrition, ...
