Presynaptic markers Paroxetine is a new antidepressant which is a selective serotonin (5-HT) uptake blocker.[3Hl-paroxetine binding sites have been described in human platelets (1) and rat cortex (2), and are closely related to the 5-HT uptake sites. 13Hl-paroxetine is a more selective ligand for labelling of 5-HT uptake sites than [3Hl-imipramine (3). In rat brain, selective destruction of 5-HT nerve terminals with 5, 7-dihydroxytryptamine (5, 7-DHT) leads to a 94% reduction in 5-HT levels and a 90% reduction in 13H1-paroxetine binding (2), but to only a 42% reduction in [3Hl-imipramine binding (4). Therefore, we investigated the binding characteristics of [3Hl-paroxetine in human brain to determine its use as a specific 5-HT presynaptic marker.Postsynaptic markers There are at least two distinct classes of 5-HT binding sites: 5-HT1 and 5-HT2 (5). 5-HTI binding sites are labelled by L3H1-5-HT but their physiological role remains unclear. Recent pharmacological studies have differentiated three distinct subpopulations of 5-HTI binding sites:(5-HTIA, 5-HTIB, and 5-HTlc)(6). S-HT, binding sites are a heterogeneous group that are probably located both pre-and postsynaptically (7). For example,[3H1-8-hydroxy-2-NYN-dipropylamino-tetralin (13Hl-8-OHDPAT) binding sites that are related to 5-HTIA sites are unaffected by 5, 7-DHT lesions in the hippocampus, but are markedly decreased by such lesions in the striatum (8). On the other hand, 5-HT2 binding sites, which are labelled by [3Hl-ketanserin are implicated in specific pharmacological actions (9). They are probably localized mainly on postsynaptic membranes since they are
