5-HT6 receptor

The 5-HT6 receptor is a specific type of protein found mainly in the brain that responds to serotonin, a chemical involved in mood and cognition. It helps regulate functions like learning, memory, and how we feel emotionally. Because of its role in brain activity, scientists are interested in it as a target for developing treatments for conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, depression, and schizophrenia. Modulating this receptor can influence mental processes, potentially improving cognitive function and mood in those with neurological or psychiatric disorders.
