Worm Used to Hook New Serotonin Receptor
Stephen Cannon and colleagues at MIT have identified a new serotonin receptor in the worm C. elegans. It's only the second member to be found in the family of fast serotonin-gated channel receptors, which work more quickly and fleetingly than the larger family of slow receptors. Cannon is now searching for the human homologue, a discovery that could lead to new types of drug therapy.
