Combined Unilateral Blockade of Cholinergic, Peptidergic, And Serotonergic Receptors in The Ventral Respiratory Column Does Not Affect Breathing in Awake Or Sleeping Goats [PDF]
Previous work in intact awake and sleeping goats has found that unilateral blockade of excitatory inputs in the ventral respiratory column (VRC) elicits changes in the concentrations of multiple neurochemicals, including serotonin (5-HT), substance P ...

5-HT2A Receptors Modulate Dopamine D2-mediated Maternal Effects [PDF]
Serotonin 5-HT2A receptors are expressed throughout the mesolimbic and mesocortical dopamine pathways, and manipulation of this receptor system has a profound impact on dopamine functions and dopamine-mediated behaviors.

Psychedelics Promote Structural and Functional Neural Plasticity. [PDF]
Atrophy of neurons in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) plays a key role in the pathophysiology of depression and related disorders. The ability to promote both structural and functional plasticity in the PFC has been hypothesized to underlie the fast ...

Metabotropic glutamate 2/3 receptors and epigenetic modifications in psychotic disorders: a review [PDF]
Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder are chronic psychiatric disorders, both considered as "major psychosis"; they are thought to share some pathogenetic factors involving a dysfunctional gene x environment interaction.

5-HT2A Receptor Gene Polymorphisms and Irritable Bowel Syndrome
The aim of the study was to investigate the potential association between single nucleotide polymorphisms of the 5-HT2A receptor gene and susceptibility to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in the Greek population.Serotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)] is the main mediator involved in the pathophysiology of IBS.

Inhibition of alpha oscillations through serotonin-2A receptor activation underlies the visual effects of ayahuasca in humans [PDF]
Ayahuasca is an Amazonian psychotropic plant tea typically obtained from two plants, Banisteriopsis caapi and Psychotria viridis. It contains the psychedelic 5-HT2A and sigma-1 agonist N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) plus ß-carboline alkaloids with ...

State-Dependent and -Independent Effects of Dialyzing Excitatory Neuromodulator Receptor Antagonists into the Ventral Respiratory Column [PDF]
Unilateral dialysis of the broad-spectrum muscarinic receptor antagonist atropine (50 mM) into the ventral respiratory column [(VRC) including the pre-Bötzinger complex region] of awake goats increased pulmonary ventilation (V̇i) and breathing frequency (

Characterization of the human 5-HT2A receptor gene promoter [PDF]
The regulation of 5-HT2A receptor (5-HT2AR) expression has been implicated in a variety of pathological processes and has been shown to be extremely complicated and controversial. In order to understand the mechanisms of regulation of this receptor, it is important to characterize its promoter.
