P.3 right column 3rd paragraph: "5-HT is one of the oldest signaling molecules in evolution, which may explain why 5-HT interacts with such a diversity of receptors belonging to the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) and the ligand-gated ion-channel families. The first 5-HT receptors are estimated to have appeared 700 to 800 million years ago in single-celled eukaryotes, such as paramecia [primary sources]." |
