Fluoxetine: a case history of its discovery and preclinical development [PDF]
Introduction: Depression is a multifactorial mood disorder with a high prevalence worldwide. Until now, treatments for depression have focused on the inhibition of monoaminergic reuptake sites, which augment the bioavailability of monoamines in the CNS ...

Classification of Serotonin Receptors
The subdivision of serotonin (5-HT) receptors into three classes, designated 5-HT1, 5-HT2, and 5-HT3, has been based on radioligand binding studies and experiments in isolated tissues. As a result of radioligand binding studies, two types of 5-HT recognition sites have been postulated. One site specifically labeled by [3H]5-HT was termed 5-HT1, and the

Expression of Serotonin Receptors in Bone [PDF]
The 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptors 5-HT(2A), 5-HT(2B), and 5-HT(2C) belong to a subfamily of serotonin receptors. Amino acid and mRNA sequences of these receptors have been published for several species including man. The 5-HT(2) receptors have been reported to act on nervous, muscle, and endothelial tissues.

Inter-strain differences of serotonergic inhibitory pain control in inbred mice [PDF]
Background: Descending inhibitory pain control contributes to the endogenous defense against chronic pain and involves noradrenergic and serotonergic systems.

Role of serotonin via 5-HT2B receptors in the reinforcing effects of MDMA in mice. [PDF]
The amphetamine derivative 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, ecstasy) reverses dopamine and serotonin transporters to produce efflux of dopamine and serotonin, respectively, in regions of the brain that have been implicated in reward. However, the

Enhanced sensitivity of postsynaptic serotonin-1A receptors in rats and mice with high trait aggression [PDF]
Individual differences in aggressive behaviour have been linked to variability in central serotonergic activity, both in humans and animals. A previous experiment in mice, selectively bred for high or low levels of aggression, showed an up-regulation of ...

Serotonin and motherhood: From molecules to mood [PDF]
Emerging research points to a valuable role of the monoamine neurotransmitter, serotonin, in the display of maternal behaviors and reproduction-associated plasticity in the maternal brain.

A receptor-based analysis of local ecosystems in the human brain. [PDF]
BackgroundAs a complex system, the brain is a self-organizing entity that depends on local interactions among cells. Its regions (anatomically defined nuclei and areas) can be conceptualized as cellular ecosystems, but the similarity of their functional ...
