Adults with OCD are not characterized as a group by major changes in 5-HT(2A) availability in cortical or limbic brain regions.
Further research is warranted to examine potential differences in 5-HT(2A) availability between early- and late-onset OCD and to assess 5-HT(2A) function in relation to other neurotransmitter systems implicated in OCD.
