title: 5-HT1 receptors and behavior.
abstract: The activation of different subtypes of the 5-HT1 receptor can be associated with specific behavioral responses. The present review discusses different categories of behavioral studies that have examined functional distinctions among 5-HT1 receptors. These include: 1) behavioral responses elicited by selective 5-HT receptor agonists; 2) drug discrimination experiments; 3) studies of sensorimotor reactivity and motivated behavior; and 4) behavioral models of clinical psychotherapeutic effects.
