This term is often used to refer to neurotransmitters and other molecules such as neuro-active drugs that influence neuron function. The founding of neurochemistry as a discipline traces it origins to a series of “International Neurochemical Symposia”, […]

5-HT Receptor System 5-hydroxytryptamine receptors or 5-HT receptors, or serotonin receptors, are a group of G protein-coupled receptor and ligand-gated ion channels found in the central and peripheral nervous systems.[1][2][3] They mediate both excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission. The serotonin receptors are activated by the neurotransmitter serotonin, which acts as their natural ligand. The serotonin receptors […]
