5-HT1A Receptors
The serotonin 5-HT1A receptor was the first 5-HT receptor to be fully sequenced. 5-HT1A receptor binding sites are located primarily in limbic brain areas, notably the hypothalamus and cortical areas. The human gene encoding this receptor has been localized to chromosome 5.

The serotonin 5-HT1A receptor was the first 5-HT receptor to be fully sequenced and the human gene encoding this receptor has been localized to chromosome 5 (5q11.2-q13).
5-HT1A receptor binding sites are located primarily in limbic brain areas, notably the hypothalamus, lateral septum, cortical areas and the mesencephalic raphe nuclei. 5-HT1A receptor ligands with agonist activity possess antianxiety, antidepressant, antiaggressive, and perhaps anticraving, anticataleptic, antiemetic, and neuroprotective properties.

5-HT Receptors Scientific Review
Written by Nicholas M. Barnes and John F. Neumaier, this review summarizes the various serotonin receptor subtypes and their importance in mediating the role of serotonin in numerous physiological and pharmacological processes. Compounds available from Tocris are listed.
Depression Poster
Major depressive disorder is characterized by depressed mood and a loss of interest and/or pleasure. Updated in 2015 this poster highlights presynaptic and postsynaptic targets for the potential treatment of major depressive disorder, as well as outlining the pharmacology of currently approved antidepressant drugs.
Parkinson's Disease Poster
Parkinson's disease (PD) causes chronic disability and is the second most common neurodegenerative condition. This poster outlines the neurobiology of the disease, as well as highlighting current therapeutic treatments for symptomatic PD, and emerging therapeutic strategies to delay PD onset and progression.
