Serotonin is perhaps best known as a neurotransmitter that modulates neural activity and a
wide range of neuropsychological processes, and drugs that target serotonin receptors are …

The serotonin syndrome is a medication-induced condition resulting from serotonergic
hyperactivity, usually involving antidepressant medications. As the number of patients …

Serotonin (5-HT) is an ancient chemical that plays a crucial functional role in almost every
living organism. It regulates platelet aggregation, activation of immune cells, and contraction …

Knowledge about serotonergic neurotransmission has been expanding rapidly. Recent
research has delineated 15 molecularly different serotonin receptors and multiple, discrete …

Handbook of the Behavioral Neurobiology of Serotonin, Second Edition, builds on the
success of the first edition by continuing to provide a detailed and comprehensive overview …

The present review focuses on what is known of basic serotonin physiology in the human
body. Here, we describe serotonin biochemistry and metabolism and summarize the results …

The serotonergic system extends throughout the central nervous system (CNS) and the
gastrointestinal (GI) tract. In the CNS, serotonin (5-HT, 5-hydroxytryptamine) modulates a …
