- 25 April 2007
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

- 1 October 2001
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

- 1 August 2003
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.

- 1 April 2001
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
