It was hypothesized that fish possess functioning H1 histamine receptors that have the ability to bind agonists and antagonists specific to the H1 histamine receptor subtype. For these experiments, a combination of a novel, in vivo 2-deoxyglucose method and a standard in vitro autoradiography procedure was utilized. A regional, statistically significant dose response in neurological functioning was observed when fish were exposed to histaminergic agents (i.e., H1 agonists and antagonists), which created the first neurological profile for the H1 histamine receptor in fish brain. The H1 histamine receptor was chosen as a characterization receptor in fish because histamine has been linked to a variety of neurological functions such as the control of arousal, attention, sensory processing, and cognition. Histamine also plays a role in pituitary hormone secretion, appetite control, and, potentially, regulation of vestigular reactivity. In addition, the fish brain is well characterized structurally, and the existence of an H3-like receptor has been documented recently in zebrafish. However, to date there is little detailed information about specific localization and functioning of the H1 histamine receptor in fish.
