Psychotomimetic drugs and brain 5-hydroxytryptamine metabolism

TLDR
Both categories of drug influence 5-HT metabolism, and the noted differences with respect to 5-HIAA cannot as yet be accounted for.

Serotonergic basis of antipsychotic drug effects in schizophrenia

TL;DR: The interaction of dopamine and 5-HT systems will be reviewed, and the mechanisms of action of atypical antipsychotic drugs will be evaluated in this context.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stereospecific binding of D-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) to brain membranes: relationship to serotonin receptors.

TL;DR: The evidence suggests that D-[3H]LSD binds to post-synaptic serotonin receptors, the only putative neurotransmitter with affinity for the LSD binding site, and psychotropically active alkylindoleamines are also potent displacing agents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chronic, Multiple Tics of Gilles de la Tourette's Disease: CSF Acid Monoamine Metabolites After Probenecid Administration

TL;DR: Findings suggest an association in Gilles de la Tourette's disease of reduced functioning of inhibitory serotonergic mechanisms and functional dopaminergic overactivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hallucinogenic drug interactions with neurotransmitter receptor binding sites in human cortex.

TL;DR: Rank-order differences in affinities are likely to account for the differing effects of these agents in various biochemical and physiological assays.

Methods of Biochemical Analysis

David Glick
TL;DR: The Radiation Inactivation Method as a Tool to Study Structure-Function Relationships in Proteins Immunoassay with Electrochemical Detection and Theory and Newer Technology Assays for Superoxide Dismutase are studied.
Journal Article

Identification and assay of serotonin in brain.

TL;DR: With this method serotonin has been shown to be a normal constituent of brain and may be applied to the measurement of serotonin in other tissues.

Lysergic Acid Diethylamide: Sensitive Neuronal Units in the Midbrain Raphe

TL;DR: An inhibition of neurons containing serotonin after administration of d-lysergic acid diethylamide could account for the decreased metabolism of serotonin produced by this drug.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serotonin: release in the forebrain by stimulation of midbrain raphé

TL;DR: Electrical stimulation of the midbrain raph�, an area in which neuronal perikarya containing serotonin are aggregated, produces an increase in 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid and a decrease in serotonin in the forebrain, indicating that serotonin inThe brain can be released via a specific neural pathway.
