Pharmacology of serotonin responses in type I and type II L5 pyramidal cells of rat mPFC. A1, Top, two consecutive applications of serotonin (10 μm) to a type I pyramidal cell results in comparable inward currents indicating minimal desensitization of the response. Bottom, administration of the selective 5-HT2A receptor antagonist MDL100 907 (300 nm) between serotonin application inhibits the effect of a second serotonin application. A2, Summary plot illustrating the effect of MDL100907 on the inward current elicit by serotonin on type I pyramidal cells. B1, Top, two consecutive applications of serotonin (10 μm) to a type II pyramidal cell elicit comparable outward currents. Bottom, administration of the selective 5-HT1A antagonist WAY100135 (3 μm) between serotonin application blocks the effect of a second application of serotonin. B2, Summary plot illustrating the effect of WAY100135 on the outward current elicited by serotonin in type II pyramidal cells.
