Autoradiographical studies have also been used to determine the pre- and postsynaptic localisation of 5-HT,jj receptors. The guinea pig superior colliculus is an area known to be rich in 5-HTjd binding sites (see above). Primary retinal afferents project into the superficial grey layer of the superior colliculus and the terminals of this area arise from the nucleus raphe dorsalis. Waeber and Palacios...
