Abstract excerpt
The effect of antagonists of serotonin (5-HT) receptor subtypes and alpha 2-adrenoceptors was investigated on audiogenic seizures and locomotor activity in DBA/2 mice. 5HT1c receptor antagonists (mianserin and cyproheptadine), 5-HT3 receptor antagonist (zacopride) and 5-HT4 receptor antagonist (ICS 205-930) increased the latency of audiogenic seizures and decreased the severity of convulsions in young (20-27 days...
