5-HT2A Serotonin Receptor Density in Adult Male Rats’ Hippocampus after Morphine-based Conditioned Place Preference
Introduction: A close interaction exists between the brain opioid and serotonin (5-HT) neurotransmitter systems. Brain neurotransmitter 5-HT plays an important role in the regulation of reward-related processing. However, a few studies have investigated the potential role of 5-HT2A receptors in this behavior. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to assess the influence of...
متن کاملSerotonin receptor imaging: clinically useful?
Serotonin is a modulatory neurotransmitter in the human brain that regulates mood, anger, reward, aggression, and appetite and plays a central role in brain development. These effects are mediated through the interaction of serotonin with at least 15 different receptor molecules. Through the development and careful characterization of novel radiotracers, we have been able to visualize and quant...
متن کاملSerotonin receptor 5-HT2B mediates serotonin-induced mechanical hyperalgesia.
Serotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)] released from mast cells or platelets in peripheral tissues is one of the important inflammatory mediators in pain and hyperalgesia. The involvement of 5-HT in pain is complex because it could inhibit or facilitate nociceptive transmission, reflecting the presence of multiple 5-HT subtype receptors on peripheral and central nociceptors. The present study a...
متن کاملThe Serotonin Receptor Subtype 5b Specifically Interacts with Serotonin Receptor Subtype 1A
Previously, we described the dysregulation of serotonin (5-HT) receptor subtype 5b (5-ht5b) in a mouse model of Rett syndrome (RTT). 5-ht5b has not been extensively studied, so we set out to characterize it in more detail. Unlike common cell surface receptors, 5-ht5b displays no membrane expression, while receptor clusters are located in endosomes. This unusual subcellular localization is at le...
متن کاملSerotonin Receptor Signaling and Hallucinogenic Drug Action
73 Serotonin Serotonin, or 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), is a neurotransmitter found in a variety of organisms from the worm to vertebrates. This diverse presence indicates that the serotonergic system is evolutionarily an ancient one. In lower organisms 5-HT mediates simple behaviors, for example, egg laying in C. elegans (Waggoner et al, 1998). In humans, 5-HT mediates complex behaviors ranging...
