AbstractSeveral neurochemical in vitro and in vivo imaging studies have been aimed at characterizing the localization of serotonin receptors and transporters in the human brain. In this study, a detailed comparison of the distribution of a number of 5‐HT receptor subtypes and the 5‐HT transporter was carried out in vitro using human postmortem brain tissue. Anatomically adjacent whole hemisphere sections were incubated with specific radioligands for the 5‐HT1A, 5‐HT1B, 5‐HT2A, 5‐HT4 receptors and the 5‐HT transporter. The autoradiograms revealed different laminar and regional distribution patterns in the isocortex, where 5‐HT1A and 5‐HT4 receptor binding showed highest densities in superficial layers and 5‐HT2A receptor binding was most abundant in middle layers. In cortical regions, 5‐HT transporters were concentrated to several limbic lobe structures (posterior uncus, entorhinal, cingulate, insular and temporal polar regions). 5‐HT1A receptor densities were also high in limbic cortical regions (hippocampus, posterior entorhinal cortex, and subcallosal area) compared to the isocortex. Subregionally different distribution patterns were observed in the basal ganglia with a trend toward higher levels in ventral striatal (5‐HT1B receptors) and pallidal (5‐HT transporters and 5‐HT1B receptors) regions. The localization in regions belonging to limbic cortico‐striato‐pallido‐thalamic circuits is in line with the documented role of 5‐HT in modulation of mood and emotion, and the suggested involvement of this system in pathophysiology of various psychiatric disorders. The qualitative and quantitative information reported in this study might provide important complements to in vivo neuroimaging studies of the 5‐HT system. Hum.
