In the course of reviewing the anatomy and physiology of central nervous system (CNS)
serotonin [5= hydroxytryptamine(50HT)] in vertebrates, we focus on three major themes …

Anatomical and pharmacological evidence suggests that the dorsal raphe serotonin system
and the ventral tegmental and substantia nigra dopamine system may act as mutual …

How do human emotions arise, what functions do they serve, what is their evolutionary
background, how do they relate to behaviour and the brain? These questions are put, and …

There are conflicting results on the function of 5-HT in anxiety and depression. To reconcile
this evidence, Deakin and Graeff have suggested that the ascending 5-HT pathway that …

The monoamine neurotransmitter disorders consist of a rapidly expanding heterogeneous
group of neurological syndromes characterised by primary and secondary defects in the …

RE Lubow offers a complete survey of the basic data that comprise the latent inhibition
effect, and a review of theories that attempt to explain it. He then elaborates on his own …

During adulthood, neuronal precursor cells persist in two discrete regions, the subventricular
zone [19] and the hippocampal subgranular zone,[11] as recently demonstrated in …

Two types of corticosteroid receptors can be distinguished in rat brain. The type 1 receptor
resembles the kidney mineralocorticoid receptor and has two functional expressions in …

The ascending projections of serotonin neurons of the midbrain raphe were analyzed in the
rat using the autoradiographic tracing method. Axons of raphe serotonin neurons ascend in …

Abstract Investigation of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), which functions as a modulator in the
CNS, across behavioral contexts suggests that a general principle of transmitter function …
