    A study by Brown, Edwards, McKone and Ward (2007), [3] additionally investigated MDMA's effect on serotonin neurons. Their research also stemmed from Masini et al. (1990). [18] They were interested in serotonin's role in lateral inhibition to orientation sensitive neurons and how MDMA use may change this system and produce wider tuning ...

  3. Serotonin pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serotonin_pathway

    A serotonin pathway identifies aggregate projections from neurons which synthesize and communicate the monoamine neurotransmitter serotonin. [citation needed] These pathways are relevant to different psychiatric and neurological disorders. [1] [2] [3]

  4. Median raphe nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_raphe_nucleus

    The MRN is involved in the serotonin pathway. [3] Serotonin (5-HT) is the chief neurotransmitter of the median raphe nucleus. [4] According to one study, it represents the main source of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)) in the brain. [3] Stimulation of the MRN significantly increases the amount of 5-HT present in the brain. [5]

  5. 5-HT3 receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5-HT3_receptor

    The 5-HT 3 receptor is expressed throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems and mediates a variety of physiological functions. [14] On a cellular level, it has been shown that postsynaptic 5-HT 3 receptors mediate fast excitatory synaptic transmission in rat neocortical interneurons, amygdala , and hippocampus, and in ferret visual ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serotonin

    Serotonin (/ ˌ s ɛr ə ˈ t oʊ n ɪ n, ˌ s ɪər ə-/) [6] [7] [8] or 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is a monoamine neurotransmitter.Its biological function is complex, touching on diverse functions including mood, cognition, reward, learning, memory, and numerous physiological processes such as vomiting and vasoconstriction.

  7. N-Acetylserotonin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-Acetylserotonin

    N-Acetylserotonin (NAS), also known as normelatonin, is a naturally occurring chemical intermediate in the endogenous production of melatonin from serotonin. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It also has biological activity in its own right, including acting as a melatonin receptor agonist , an agonist of the TrkB , and having antioxidant effects.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_computer_graphics

    The graphics rendering pipeline ("rendering pipeline" or simply "pipeline") is the foundation of real-time graphics. [4] Its main function is to render a two-dimensional image in relation to a virtual camera, three-dimensional objects (an object that has width, length, and depth), light sources, lighting models, textures and more.
