Lysergic acid diethylamide and serotonin: a comparison of effects on serotonergic neurons and neurons receiving a serotonergic input

Abstract

Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) administered systemically to rats has been shown to reversibly inhibit serotonin (5-HT)-containing neurons of the raphe nuclei (serotonergic neurons). This inhibition could be due to either a direct effect or an indirect action via a …
