Over the last decade, knowledge of invertebrate serotonin receptors has expanded greatly.
The first 5-HT receptor from Drosophila was cloned 10 years ago, and subsequently, 11 …

In humans, as in the other mammals, the neuroendocrine control of reproduction is ensured
by the brain-pituitary gonadotropic axis. Multiple internal and environmental cues are …
