Increased Exploratory Activity and Altered Response to LSD in Mice Lacking the 5-HT5A Receptor
In order to determine the distribution and function of the 5-HT5A serotonin receptor subtype, we generated knockout mice lacking the 5-HT5A gene. Comparative autoradiography studies of brains of wild-type (wt) and 5-HT5A knockout (5A-KO) mice revealed the existence of binding sites with high affinity for [125I]LSD that correspond to 5-HT5A receptors and that are concentrated in the olfactory bu...
متن کاملIncreased adult neurogenesis in mice with a permanent overexpression of the postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptor
Depression is among the leading causes of disability and disease burden. Recent studies point to an involvement of altered serotonin1A receptor (5-HT1AR) -mediated adult neurogenesis in depression. However, the exact underlying mechanisms remain unclear, mainly due to the complexity of the serotonergic system with its various receptors and their locations. Mice with permanent overexpression of ...
متن کاملInvolvement of the 5-HT1A receptors in classical fear conditioning in C57BL/6J mice.
The present study examined the involvement of the 5-HT(1A) receptors in classical fear conditioning using the 5-HT(1A) agonist 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propyloamino)tetralin hydrobromide (8-OH-DPAT) and the selective "silent" 5-HT(1A) receptor antagonist (N-[2-[4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl]ethyl]-N-(2-pyridinyl)cyclo- hexane carboxamide trihydrochloride (WAY 100635). The drugs were administered b...
متن کاملThe 5-HT1A Receptor in Psychopharmacology
The 5-HT 1A receptor is a subtype of serotonin receptor located in presynaptic and postsynaptic regions. Activation of this receptor has been involved in the mechanism of action of anxiolytic, antidepressant and antipsychotic medications. Serotonin is a monoamine neurotransmitter that interacts with 14 serotonin (5-HT) receptors that can be subdivided into 7 classes [1]. Specifically, the 5-HT ...
متن کاملIncreased anxiety of mice lacking the serotonin1A receptor.
Brain serotonin (5-HT) has been implicated in a number of physiological processes and pathological conditions. These effects are mediated by at least 14 different 5-HT receptors. We have inactivated the gene encoding the 5-HT1A receptor in mice and found that receptor-deficient animals have an increased tendency to avoid a novel and fearful environment and to escape a stressful situation, behav...
