Abstract

A direct comparison was made of the effects of serotonin 5‐HT 1A and 5‐HT 1B selective compounds on the spontaneous firing rate of dorsal raphe serotoninergic neurons in chloral‐hydrate‐anesthetized rats. Following intravenous administration, the 5‐HT 1A selective compounds ipsapirone (TVX Q 7821) and LY 165163 potently inhibited single‐unit activity in a dose‐dependent manner whereas the 5‐HT 1B selective compounds, m‐chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP) and trifluoromethylphenylpiperazine (TFMPP), displayed only weak or irregular actions. Low microiontophoretic currents of ipsapirone and LY 165163 were also effective in suppressing spontaneous firing; dose‐response relationships for the 5‐HT 1A compounds were indistinguishable from that of 5‐HT itself. In contrast, dorsal raphe neurons were only weakly responsive to microiontophoretic application of mCPP and TFMPP; dose‐response relationships for the 5‐HT 1B compounds were significantly displaced from that of 5‐HT. In intracellular studies, ipsapirone and LY 165163, when added to the media bathing brain slices, mimicked the actions of 5‐HT in hyperpolarizing dorsal raphe cell membranes and decreasing input resistance; however, the maximal effects of the 5‐HT 1A compounds on these membrane properties exceeded those of 5‐HT. In summary, dorsal raphe 5‐HT neurons appear highly responsive to 5‐HT 1A, but not to 5‐HT 1B compounds; these findings are discussed with regard to the 5‐HT receptor subtypes as candidates for the somatodendritic autoreceptor of dorsal raphe neurons.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
