Abstract The status of serotonin 5HT 2A receptors (5HT 2A Rs) in schizophrenia has been controversial. In vivo positron emission tomography neuroimaging and in vitro post-mortem binding studies have reported conflicting results about 5HT 2A R density. Radiotracers bind different receptor conformations depending on their agonist, antagonist or inverse agonist properties. This study...
