It is known that serotonin exerts its different nociceptive and motor functions by interacting
with distinct receptors subtypes, which could be either G-protein coupled or ionotropic …

By using a specific antibody, 5-HT5a receptor-like immunoreactivity was revealed in the
chemoreceptive, oxygen sensitive, carotid body (CB) type I cells, and neurons of the petrosal …

It has long been known that serotonergic afferent inputs are the third largest afferent
population in the cerebellum after mossy fibers and climbing fibers. However, the role of …

BACKGROUND–Autism is a disorder that can lead to life-long disability. Currently, the
