Very high Concentrations of [3H]LSD binding sites, apparently belonging to the 5-HT class were localized in the raphe nuclei. Other areas of the brainstem presented only moderate or low receptor densities. Labeled areas were the nucleus interpeduncularis, periaqueductal gray matter, locus coeruleus and nucleus tractus solitarius. The choroid plexus was also labeled by [3H]LSD. The use of [3H]LSD binding as a marker for serotonin cells in the brainstem is suggested.
