The existence of an endogenous vasoconstrictor in blood serum (Stevens and Lee, 1984;
Brodie, 1900) and the presence in the gut of a substance that increases intestinal motility …

A very important element controlling serotonin (5‐HT) release throughout the brain is the 5‐
HT1A autoreceptor present on the soma and dendrites of 5‐HT neurons since it exerts a …

Brain serotonin (5-HT) has been implicated in a number of physiological processes and
pathological conditions. These effects are mediated by at least 14 different 5-HT receptors …

During the last decade, serotonin (5-HT) 1A receptors have been a major target for
neurobiological research and drug development. 5-HT 1A receptors have been cloned and …

Electrophysiological and autoradiographic approaches were used to assess possible
changes in 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) 5-HT 1A receptors in the rat dorsal raphe …

Low levels of the serotonin1A (5-HT1A) receptor have been repeatedly found in mood and
anxiety disorders. Stress often exacerbates psychiatric disease and can also reduce 5-HT1A …

The purpose of this study was to determine the roles of the presynaptic 5-
hydroxytryptamine1A (5-HT1A) receptors in the median raphénucleus (MRN) and of the …

In order to investigate the role of the 5-HT1A receptors of the amygdala in modulating
anxiety, rats were implanted with bilateral cannulae aimed at the basolateral nucleus of the …

The complexities of the involvement of the serotonin transmitter system in numerous
biological processes and psychiatric disorders is, to a substantial degree, attributable to the …

Anxiety is a common psychiatric illness often treated by benzodiazepines (BZs). BZs, such
as Valium, bind to the α subunit of the pentameric GABAA receptor and increase inhibition in …
