When this receptor is overactivated, external sensory input is suppressed ... activities throughout the brain. At least 14 types of serotonergic receptors can be distinguished.

Sensory receptors in non-sensory organs respond to chemical stimuli, initiate signalling cascades and have important roles in cell biology and physiology. Here, the authors discuss key examples of ...
