The 5-HT_2C Receptor Subtype Controls Central Dopaminergic Systems: Evidence from Electrophysiological and Neurochemical Studies

Several studies have focused on the role of serotonergic 5-HT_2C receptors in the regulation of forebrain dopamine (DA) function and have highlighted their potential as a target for improved treatments of neuropsy...

Preferential Modulation of the GABAergic vs. Dopaminergic Function in the Substantia Nigra by 5-HT_2C Receptor

Serotonin (5-HT) is intimately involved in the modulation of the basal ganglia circuitry and in its pathologies. The 5-HT pivotal role is supported by anatomical evidence demonstrating a large serotonergic inn...

Intake of Tomato-Enriched Diet Protects from 6-Hydroxydopamine-Induced Degeneration of Rat Nigral Dopaminergic Neurons

There is extensive evidence that oxidative damage of dopamine (DA)-containing neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) may contribute to the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD). We evaluated the p...

Acute administration of amitriptyline and mianserin increases dopamine release in the rat nucleus accumbens: possible involvement of serotonin_2C receptors

Previous studies of conventional tricyclic and non-tricyclic antidepressants have suggested that a number of these drugs display considerable pharmacological activity at 5-HT_2C receptors in the brain. There is e...
