… the brain and serotonin acts through many different receptors, which are often activated in concert to change the … 302 neurons (rather than billions) and only six serotonin receptors (rather than the 14 found in people). Moreover, all … a global view of how serotonin acts on a diverse set of receptors distributed across a connectome to modulate …

… Losing consciousness Propofol is a drug that binds to GABA receptors in the brain, inhibiting neurons that have those receptors. Other anesthesia drugs act on different types of receptors, and the mechanism for how all of these drugs …
