5-HT1A receptor 5-HT2A receptor and serotonin transporter binding in the human auditory cortex in depression

摘要

BackgroundSerotonergic system abnormalities are implicated in many psychiatric disorders, including major depression. The temporal lobe receives a high density of serotonergic afferent projections, and responses in the primary auditory cortex to sound are modulated by serotonergic tone. However, the associations between changes in serotonergic tone, disease state and changes in auditory cortical function remain to be clarified.
