title: 5-HT in nervous system disease and migraine.
abstract: New developments defining the relationship between 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT; serotonin)1B and 5-HT1D receptors are reviewed and a novel pain control system involving spinal 5-HT3 receptors is described. The emerging roles of 5-HT receptor mechanisms in migraine and in the craving for alcohol are discussed.
