The thesis investigated the functional relevance of 5-HT2A and mGlu2/3 receptor interactions focussing on two aspects of behavioural inhibition: impulsivity and sensorimotor gating mechanisms. Experiments were conducted in Lister Hooded rats trained in different tests for impulsivity and treated with 5-HT2A and mGlu2/3 receptor ligands. Sensorimotor gating mechanisms were assessed via the prepulse inhibition of the acoustic startle reflex. Taken together, the studies show close antagonistic interactions between 5-HT2A and mGlu2/3 receptors at the behavioural and systems level. The results further suggest that mGlu2/3 receptor agonists have the potential to attenuate impulsivity-related disorders and sensorimotor gating deficits resulting from a hyperserotonergic state.enBitte wählen Sie eine Lizenz aus: (Unsere Empfehlung: CC-BY)Impulsivityschizophreniaprepulse inhibition5-choice serial reaction time taskdelayed-reward task570Interactions of serotonin2A and metabotropic glutamate2/3 receptors in behavioural control in ratsInteraktion von Serotonin2A- und metabotropen Glutamat2/3-Rezeptoren bei der Verhaltenskontrolle von RattenDissertationurn:nbn:de:gbv:46-00102519-11
