Addressing of 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B receptors
... The 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B receptors have been suggested to be differentially distributed in neurons. These receptors belong to the 5-HT1 family of serotonin receptors, and like all members of this family, are negatively coupled to adenylyl cyclase (Hoyer et al., 1994; Saudou and Hen, 1994). Both are aut ...

Clinical neurochemistry
Clinical neurochemistry is the field of neurological biochemistry which relates biochemical phenomena to clinical symptomatic manifestations in humans. While neurochemistry is mostly associated with the effects of neurotransmitters and similarly-functioning chemicals on neurons themselves, clinical neurochemistry relates these phenomena to system-wide symptoms. Clinical neurochemistry is related to neurogenesis, neuromodulation, neuroplasticity, neuroendocrinology, and neuroimmunology in the context of associating neurological findings at both lower and higher level organismal functions.
