A new wave of serotonin receptors

Curr Opin Neurobiol. 1993 Jun;3(3):310-5. doi: 10.1016/0959-4388(93)90122-f.

Abstract

The neurotransmitter serotonin mediates diverse effects through multiple receptor subtypes. Recently, many of these receptor subtypes have been identified, molecularly cloned and characterized, advancing our understanding of their functional roles in the central and peripheral nervous systems.
