In addition to the 5-HT3-mediated fast depolarisation, 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) evoked two additional responses on the rat superior cervical ganglion: a hyperpolarisation and a slow depolarisation. These responses appeared to be direct actions on 5-HT receptors since they were present in a low calcium medium containing tetrodotoxin and were not abolished by a variety of non-serotonin antagonists. The hyperpolarisation was not antagonised by 5-HT3 or 5-HT2 antagonists. The 5-HT1 ligands 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT) and 8-OH-DPAT also evoked a hyperpolarisation. The hyperpolarisation was antagonised by six 5-HT1A antagonists including WB-4101 and spiroxatrine. It was therefore concluded to be mediated by a 5-HT1A receptor. The slow depolarisation was only evoked by 5-HT. The receptor involved in this response, however, could not be determined. We conclude that in addition to 5-HT3 receptors the rat superior cervical ganglion possesses 5-HT1A receptors and another uncharacterised 5-HT receptor.
