A 5-HT1B autoreceptor decreases the synthesis & release of serotonin. A 5-HT1B heteroreceptor decreases the synthesis & release of some other neurotransmitter or neuromodulator. 5-HT1A receptors are autoreceptors on cell bodies or dendrites. 5-HT1B and 5-HT1D are autoreceptors at axon terminals. Full agonists can desensitize these receptors after chronic use, resulting in a decreased effect upon synthesis/release. Partial agonists cause less desensitization and therefore may decrease synthesis/release to a greater degree than full agonists when chronically administered.
