Figure 3.6. Phylogenetic tree of <strong>the</strong> serotonin (5-HT) receptor, showing<br />

strong homology across many species and <strong>the</strong> ancient nature of neuronal<br />

signaling proteins involved in motivated behavior. Evolutionary distance<br />

between receptor populations is indicated by <strong>the</strong> length of each branch of<br />

<strong>the</strong> tree. (From Peroutka & Howell, 1994, with permission.)
