Serotonin Receptors Flashcards
5-HT 1A locations? (3)
- Cortex, hypothalamus
- Raphe nuclei
5-HT 1A effects on cortex, hypothalamus, and raphe nuclei?
- Mood, cognitive function, neuroendocrine function
- Raphe: inhibits 5-HT release
5-HT 1D locations? (2)
- Cerebral vascular smooth m.
- Nerve terminal
5-HT 1D effects on cerebral vascular smooth m. and nerve terminals?
- Vasoconstriction
- Inhibits NT release from nerve terminals (e.g. nociceptive and inflammatory mediators in migraines)

- Striatum
- Frontal cortex
5-HT 2A/2C effects on the striatum and frontal cortex?
Hallucinations via inhibiting DA release
