Serotonin-2C and -2A Receptor Co-expression on Cells in the Rat Medial Prefrontal Cortex

Neuroscience March 27, 2015 C. Nocjar, Katherine D. Alex, Alex Sonneborn et al.

Neural function within the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) regulates normal cognition, attention and impulse control, implicating neuroregulatory abnormalities within this region in mental dysfunction related to schizophrenia, depression and drug abuse. Both serotonin -2A (5-HT2A) and -2C (5-HT2C) receptors are known to be important in neuropsychiatric drug action and are distributed throughout...
