47 Serotonin initiates various rhythmic behaviors in vertebrates. Previously, we have shown 48 that serotonergic neurons innervate the central vocal pathway in the African clawed frog 49 (Xenopus laevis). We also discovered that exogenous serotonin applied to isolated brains in vitro 50 activates fictive vocalizations by activating 5-HT2C-like receptors. In this study we examined the 51 locatio...
متن کامل5-HT2C-like receptors in the brain of Xenopus laevis initiate sex-typical fictive vocalizations.
Vocalizations of male and female African clawed frogs (Xenopus laevis) are generated by brain stem central pattern generators. Serotonin (5-HT) is likely important for vocal initiation because, when applied in vitro, sex-typical fictive vocalizations are evoked from isolated brains. To explore the mechanisms underlying vocal initiation, we identified the types of serotonin receptors mediating v...

متن کاملLorcaserin, a novel selective human 5-hydroxytryptamine2C agonist: in vitro and in vivo pharmacological characterization.
5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)(2C) receptor agonists hold promise for the treatment of obesity. In this study, we describe the in vitro and in vivo characteristics of lorcaserin [(1R)-8-chloro-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1-methyl-1H-3 benzazepine], a selective, high affinity 5-HT(2C) full agonist. Lorcaserin bound to human and rat 5-HT(2C) receptors with high affinity (K(i) = 15 +/- 1 nM, 29 +/- 7 nM, respe...
متن کاملRat brain 5-HT1C receptors are encoded by a 5-6 kbase mRNA size class and are functionally expressed in injected Xenopus oocytes.
Injection of rat brain RNA into Xenopus laevis oocytes induces synthesis of receptors that show an electrophysiological response to bath application of serotonin. While there are at least 4 pharmacologically distinct subtypes of 5-HT binding sites in the rat brain, we find that the pharmacological characteristics of the predominant electrophysiologically active receptor synthesized in Xenopus o...
