Hippocampal 5-HT1A receptor and spatial learning and memory [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2015
Spatial cognition is fundamental for survival in the topographically complex environments inhabited by humans and other animals. The hippocampus, which has a central role in spatial cognition, is characterized by high concentration of serotonin (5 ...

5-HT1A and 5-HT2B receptor interaction and co-clustering regulate serotonergic neuron excitability

open access: yesiScience, 2023
Summary: Many psychiatric diseases have been associated with serotonin (5-HT) neuron dysfunction. The firing of 5-HT neurons is known to be under 5-HT1A receptor-mediated autoinhibition, but functional consequences of coexpressed receptors are unknown ...

Existence of Brain 5‑HT1A–5-HT2A Isoreceptor Complexes with Antagonistic Allosteric Receptor–Receptor Interactions Regulating 5‑HT1A Receptor Recognition [PDF]

open access: yesACS Omega, 2017
Studies on serotonin-selective reuptake inhibitors have established that disturbances in the ascending 5-HT neuron systems and their 5-HT receptor subtypes and collateral networks to the forebrain contribute to the etiology of major depression and are ...

Associations Between a Polymorphism in the Rat 5-HT1A Receptor Gene Promoter Region (rs198585630) and Cognitive Alterations Induced by Microwave Exposure

open access: yesFrontiers in Public Health, 2022
The nervous system is a sensitive target of electromagnetic radiation (EMR). Chronic microwave exposure can induce cognitive deficits, and 5-HT system is involved in this effect. Genetic polymorphisms lead to individual differences.

Identification of the 5-HT1A serotonin receptor as a novel therapeutic target in a C. elegans model of Machado-Joseph disease

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2021
Machado-Joseph disease (MJD) or Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement coordination leading to a premature death. Despite several efforts, no disease-modifying treatment is yet available for

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of a Series of Novel 1-(3-((6-Fluoropyridin-3-yl)oxy)propyl)piperazines as Dopamine/Serotonin Receptor Agonists

open access: yesPharmaceutical Fronts, 2022
Evidence suggested that the use of partial dopamine D2/D3 receptor agonists may be a better choice for the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD), and the stimulation of 5-HT1A receptors (mainly via nondopaminergic mechanisms) alleviates motor and ...

Functional characterization of cannabidiol effect on the serotonergic neurons of the dorsal raphe nucleus in rat brain slices

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Cannabidiol (CBD), the main non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant, elicits several pharmacological effects via the 5-HT1A receptor. The dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) is the main serotonergic cluster in the brain that expresses the 5-HT1A ...

Pharmacological Studies on the Role of 5-HT1A Receptors in Male Sexual Behavior of Wildtype and Serotonin Transporter Knockout Rats

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2020
Brain serotonin (5-HT) neurotransmission plays an important role in male sexual behavior and it is well established that activating 5-HT1A receptors in rats facilitate ejaculatory behavior.

Occupancy of Agonist Drugs at the 5-HT1A Receptor [PDF]

open access: yesNeuropsychopharmacology, 2003
Drugs acting on the 5-HT1A receptor are used in the treatment of depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and schizophrenia. This study investigated 5-HT1A receptor occupancy by the 5-HT1A agonist drugs flesinoxan (a highly selective probe for the 5-HT1A receptor) and ziprasidone (a novel atypical antipsychotic drug). Using a within-subject design, 14

Parishin C Attenuates Phencyclidine-Induced Schizophrenia-Like Psychosis in Mice: Involvements of 5-HT1A Receptor

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2010
Parishin C, a major component of Gastrodia elata BLUME (GE), was purified from GE. Because GE modulates the serotonergic system and the 5-HT1A receptor is an important therapeutic target of schizophrenia, we examined whether parishin C affects ...
