Genetic variation of the serotonin 2a receptor affects hippocampal novelty processing in humans.

Genetic variation of the serotonin 2a receptor affects hippocampal novelty processing in humans.

Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is an important neuromodulator in learning and memory processes. A functional genetic polymorphism of the 5-HT 2a receptor (5-HTR2a His452Tyr), which leads to blunted intracellular signaling, has previously been associated with explicit memory performance in sev...
