Abstract
The effect of selective destruction of serotonin (5-HT)-containing neurons with 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (5,7-DHT) on [3H] muscimol and (-)-[3H]baclofen binding was investigated in various rat brain regions. Ten days after intracerebroventricular 5,7-DHT, serotonin levels and [3H]imipramine binding were markedly decreased. 5,7-DHT reduced [3H]muscimol binding only in the mesencephalon, and (-)-[3H]baclofen binding was unmodified in all the areas considered. These results suggest that except in the mesencephalon GABA receptors may not be localized on serotonergic nerve terminals.Entities:
