Distribution of serotonin 5-HT2C receptors in the ventral tegmental area
Serotonin 2C receptors (5-HT2CR) appear to exert tonic inhibitory influence over dopamine (DA) neurotransmission in the ventral tegmental area (VTA), the origin of the mesolimbic DA system, thought… Expand

Influence of ovarian hormones and estrous cycle on the behavioral response to cocaine in female rats.
Both humans and experimental animals demonstrate gender differences in response to cocaine. However, the mechanisms underlying these differences remain unclear. The purpose of the present study was… Expand

Contribution of Serotonin (5-Hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) 5-HT2 Receptor Subtypes to the Hyperlocomotor Effects of Cocaine: Acute and Chronic Pharmacological Analyses
The role of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) 5-HT2 receptor subtypes (5-HT2AR, 5-HT2BR, and 5-HT2CR) in acute cocaine-evoked hyperactivity was compared with their contribution to the development… Expand

Differential Regulation of the Mesoaccumbens Circuit by Serotonin 5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)2A and 5-HT2CReceptors
Serotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)] 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors (5-HT2ARs and 5-HT2CRs), which innervate the dopamine mesoaccumbens pathway, may play an important role in the behavioral effects of… Expand

Hyperlocomotive and Discriminative Stimulus Effects of Cocaine Are Under the Control of Serotonin2C (5-HT2C) Receptors in Rat Prefrontal Cortex
The serotonin2C (5-hydroxytryptamine2C; 5-HT2C) receptor (5-HT2CR) is found in abundance in dopamine (DA) mesocorticolimbic pathways and is one of the important target proteins that modulates the… Expand

Antagonism of 5-hydroxytryptamine(2a) receptors attenuates the behavioral effects of cocaine in rats.
Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) 5-HT(2A) receptors have been shown to modulate dopamine (DA) function and a more thorough appreciation of this modulatory interaction between 5-HT2A receptors… Expand

Estrogen regulation of gene expression in the brain: a possible mechanism altering the response to psychostimulants in female rats.
Acute behavioral responses to cocaine are more pronounced in female than in male rats. We have shown that 3 weeks of treatment with 17beta-estradiol (E(2)) implants significantly enhanced the… Expand

Pharmacological studies of the acute and chronic effects of (+)-3, 4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine on locomotor activity: role of 5-hydroxytryptamine(1A) and 5-hydroxytryptamine(1B/1D) receptors.
The 5-hydroxytryptamine(1B/1D) (5-HT(1B/1D)) antagonist 2'-methyl-4'-(5-methyl-[1,2,4]oxadiazol-3-yl)-biphenyl-4-carboxyli c acid [4-methoxy-3-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-phenyl]-amide (GR 127935) and… Expand

Serotonin2C receptor localization in GABA neurons of the rat medial prefrontal cortex: Implications for understanding the neurobiology of addiction
Serotonin (5-HT) action via the 5-HT(2C) receptor (5-HT(2C)R) provides an important modulatory influence over neurons of the prefrontal cortex (PFC), which is critically involved in disorders of… Expand
