title: Overview on 5-HT receptors and their role in physiology and pathology of the central nervous system.
abstract: The present review gives an overview on the serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) system, its receptors and their relationship to central nervous system physiology and disorders. Additionally, we also introduce the recent knowledge about the 5-HT receptor ligands in preclinical research, clinical trials and as approved drugs.
