Neurophysiologie, der Medizinischen Fakultät Charité der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin DISSERTATION Elektrophysiologische Untersuchungen zu Einflüssen von ionotropen Glutamatantagonisten sowie 5-HT1A-Agonisten auf die Kaliumchlorid-induzierte „spreading depression“ im neokortikalen Hirnschnittpräparat der adulten Ratte Zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Doctor medicinae (Dr. med.) vorgelegt der Medizinischen Fakultät Charité der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin von Hagen Krüger aus Magdeburg II Dekan: Prof. Dr. med. Dr. h. c. R. Felix Gutachter: 1. Prof. Dr. med. U. Heinemann, Berlin 2. Prof. Dr. rer. nat. H.-J. Luhmann, Düsseldorf 3. Prof. Dr. med. U. Eysel, Bochum Datum der Promotion: 17. April 2000 III Erklärung an Eides Statt: Ich erkläre an Eides Statt, daß ich die vorliegende Dissertation selbst und ohne unzulässige Hilfe Dritter verfaßt, die benutzte Literatur sowie Hilfsmittel vollständig erwähnt habe und die Dis- sertation noch von keiner anderen Fakultät abgelehnt worden ist. Diese Dissertation stellt auch in Teilen keine Kopie anderer Arbeiten dar. Sofern fremde Abbildungen zur Illustration kopiert wurden, ist dies als Quelle und im Literaturverzeichnis angegeben. Berlin, den 1.7.1999 Hagen Krüger IV Erklärung: Die dieser Arbeit angegebenen Experimente sind nach entsprechender Anleitung durch Herrn Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Heiko J. Luhmann und Herrn Prof. Dr. med. Uwe Heinemann von mir selbst durchgeführt und ausgewertet worden bis auf das Experiment für Abb. 9 und 10, welches ge- meinsam mit Frau Dipl.-Biol. Kristin Raabe durchgeführt wurde. Teile der Arbeit sind bereits publiziert oder in Manuskriptform in Bearbeitung. Die Abbildungs- beschriftungen erfolgten deshalb in englischer Sprache. V Danksagung: Diese Arbeit entstand zwischen dem Oktober 1994 und dem Januar 1997 am Institut für Physio- logie, Abteilung Neurophysiologie, der Medizinischen Fakultät Charité der Humboldt-Universi- tät zu Berlin. Für die Überlassung des Themas und die Übernahme der Arbeit, die hilfsbereite Arbeitsatmo- sphäre, Förderung in verschiedener Form sowie sehr guten Arbeitsbedingungen im Labor möchte ich Herrn Prof. Dr. med. Uwe Heinemann sehr herzlich danken. Mein besonderer Dank gilt Herrn Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Heiko J. Luhmann, ohne dessen exzellente, freundschaftliche Betreuung und effiziente Einführung in wissenschaftliche Arbeitsweisen diese Arbeit nicht entstanden wäre. Die begeisternde, verantwortungsvolle Zusammenarbeit war für das Gelingen von sehr großer Bedeutung. Darüber hinaus hat es mir viel Freude bereitet, am Institut für Physiologie zu arbeiten und ich möchte allen Mitarbeitern für ihre fachkundige Hilfe und die wertvollen Diskussionen danken. Meinen Eltern gebührt für ihre Geduld und fortwährende Unterstützung Dank. Die im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit durchgeführten Untersuchungen wurden mit Mitteln des Ministeriums für Wissenschaft und Forschung des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen (SFB 194) und der Studentischen Forschungsförderung der Charité unterstützt.

  • Serotonin and Brain Function: a Tale of Two Receptors
    JOP0010.1177/0269881117725915Journal of PsychopharmacologyCarhart-Harris and Nutt 725915review-article2017 Review Serotonin and brain function: a tale of two receptors Journal of Psychopharmacology 1 –30 © The Author(s) 2017 RL Carhart-Harris and DJ Nutt Reprints and permissions: sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav DOI:https://doi.org/10.1177/0269881117725915 10.1177/0269881117725915 journals.sagepub.com/home/jop Abstract Previous attempts to identify a unified theory of brain serotonin function have largely failed to achieve consensus. In this present synthesis, we integrate previous perspectives with new and older data to create a novel bipartite model centred on the view that serotonin neurotransmission enhances two distinct adaptive responses to adversity, mediated in large part by its two most prevalent and researched brain receptors: the 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors. We propose that passive coping (i.e. tolerating a source of stress) is mediated by postsynaptic 5-HT1AR signalling and characterised by stress moderation. Conversely, we argue that active coping (i.e. actively addressing a source of stress) is mediated by 5-HT2AR signalling and characterised by enhanced plasticity (defined as capacity for change). We propose that 5-HT1AR-mediated stress moderation may be the brain’s default response to adversity but that an improved ability to change one’s situation and/or relationship to it via 5-HT2AR-mediated plasticity may also be important – and increasingly so as the level of adversity reaches a critical point. We propose that the 5HT1AR pathway is enhanced by conventional 5-HT reuptake blocking antidepressants such as the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), whereas the 5-HT2AR pathway is enhanced by 5-HT2AR-agonist psychedelics.
