G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling is modulated by endocytosis and endosomal sorting of receptors between degradation and recycling. Differential regulation of these processes by endogenous ligands and synthetic drugs is a poorly understood area of GPCR signaling. Here, we describe
[125I]-2-(2,5-Dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)aminoethane ([125I]-2C-I) as a label for the 5-HT2 receptor in rat frontal cortex.

3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA or "Ecstasy") and 2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine hydrochloride (DOI) are hallucinogenic amphetamines with addictive properties. The hippocampus is involved in learning and memory and seems particularly vulnerable to amphetamine's neurotoxicity. We evaluated the neurotoxicity of DOI and MDMA in primary neuronal

The influence of drugs, agonist (DOI) and antagonist (ketanserin) ofserotonin receptors 5-HT2 on the behavior of rats tested by the method of choice to the value of reinforcement was investigated. Depending on their preferences in food reinforcement rats were divided

Prepulse inhibition (PPI) of the acoustic startle response (ASR) provides a measure of sensorimotor gating mechanisms that are impaired in schizophrenia patients. Interactions of the serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) and glutamatergic systems, especially via the 5-HT(2A) receptor subtype, have been implicated
