Correlation between serotonin synthesis and 5-HT1A receptor binding in the living human brain: A combined α-[11C]MT and [18F]MPPF positron emission tomography study
Abstract
Serotonin (5-HT) is one of the major neurotransmitters and has been implicated in a wide variety of cerebral functions. Several lines of evidence indicate that 5HT(1A) receptors exert a negative feedback in the synthesis and release of serotonin. While most of what is known about serotonin comes from studies in animals, much less empirical evidence exists about the serotonergic system in the living human brain. This study aims to assess the …
