Lumbar spinal cord excitability: flexors vs. extensors, sensitivity to quipazine; effects of activity following spinal transection; and expression of post-synaptic serotonin receptors
Serotonin (5-HT) is a well-known modulator of spinal cord excitability and motor output. In the spinal cord, the actions of 5-HT are primarily mediated by the 5-HT1AR, 5-HT2Rs and the 5-HT7R. Following a spinal cord transection, which results in a loss of supraspinal input, 5-HT agonists such as q...
