Abstract

Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5HT) signaling regulates processes in every major organ system, but it is most widely known for its role as a neurotransmitter in modulating a plethora of human behaviors. Psychedelics target the 5HT<sub>2A</sub> receptor and represent potentially transformative therapeutics for neuropsychiatric disorders. To view this SnapShot, open or download the PDF.
