Abstract
One factor deeply influenced research to establish tryptamine (T) as a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator in the central nervous system (CNS): the use of “binding studies” as an experimental method and the assumption that the physiological T-receptor site should be carried by a protein distinct of other binding systems.
