In human anatomy, the 5-HT2A receptor is a subtype of the 5-HT2 receptor which belongs to the serotonin receptor family and is a G protein coupled receptor. Activation of this receptor has a generally excitatory effect on most regions of the brain, although it may also have an inhibitory effect on certain areas such as the visual cortex.
