The neurotoxin 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (5,7-DHT) is generally believed to selectively ablate serotonergic neurons. Serotonin-containing Retzius cells (RZ) in the leech appear ablated by 5,7-DHT treatment. However, these brown, mis shapen , non-fluorescent neurons retain their synaptic inputs, action potentials, electronic outputs, a membrane receptor, and axonal projections.
神经毒素5,7-二羟基色胺（5,7-DHT）通常被认为能选择性地消除血清素能神经元。经5,7-DHT处理后，水蛭中含血清素的勒兹乌斯细胞（RZ）似乎被消除了。然而，这些棕色、形状异常、无荧光的神经元保留了它们的突触输入、动作电位、电输出、膜受体和轴突投射。
