Psychedelic Drugs: Types, Uses, and Effects They also carried out ketanserin saturation binding experiments in frontal cortex membranes from KO mice and found no decrease in Kd or Bmax, compared with WT mice. Using double in situ hybridization, Santana et al. performed a quantitative study of the expression of α1A, α1B, and α1D adrenergic receptors in pyramidal vesicular glutamate transporter 1–positive and GABAergic (GAD65/67–positive) cells of rat PFC. Given the common signaling pathways shared by 5-HT2A and α1 adrenergic receptors, they examined the coexpression of both receptors in the rat PFC using double in situ hybridization histochemistry. They found that virtually all subdivisions of the PFC contained cells expressing one or more α1 adrenergic receptors. The most abundant transcripts were those corresponding to α1A and α1D adrenergic receptors. Their study was prompted by very early reports indicating that LSD increased suggestibility (Sjobergand Hollister, 1965; Middlefel...
