Abstract excerpt
Two presynaptic receptors play an important role in the regulation of serotonergic neurotransmission, i.e., the 5-HT(1A) and 5-HT(1B) receptor. The present study focuses on putative adaptive changes in the 5-HT(1A) receptor system in mice that lack 5-HT(1B) receptors (5-HT(1B) KO). 5-HT(1A) receptor sensitivity was assessed in vivo in two models of presynaptic 5-HT(1A) receptor activity: agonist-induced...
