Взаимодействие рецепторов серотонина и глутамата как возможный механизм психоза

Serotonin (5HT) and glutamate are two neurotransmitters. Up until now, it was thought that they acted independently. A given neuron might have receptors for both serotonin and glutamate, but they didn't interact: serotonin would never affect the glutamate receptors, and vice versa.
The new research overturns that view. Authors Miguel Fribourg and colleagues ofMount Sinai School of Medicine show, in a series of elegant experiments in mice, that different receptors can cluster together, forming a complex. The two receptors, serotonin's 5HT2A and glutamate's mGluR2, can talk to each other.
