Labeled with carbon-11 — a radioactive isotope — it has been used as a radioligand in neuroimaging with positron emission tomography (PET) since around year 2000. [1] In this context it is regarded as one of the superior radioligands for PET study of the serotonin transporter in the brain , [ 2 ] since it has high selectivity for the ...
Cell group B9 is a group of cells located in the pontine tegmentum, ventral to serotonergic group B8.In the nonhuman primate they are found in the ventral part of the superior central nucleus and adjacent structures. [3]
Cinematic rendering technology is currently applied as a virtual educational method at specialized facilities, institutions, and centers to teach the subject of anatomy [1] to both medical students and other healthcare professions, for example, at the JKU Faculty of Medicine [2] at the Johannes Kepler University Linz, and for post-graduate ...
Serotonin pathways are thought to modulate eating, both the amount as well as the motor processes associated with eating. The serotonergic projections into the hypothalamus are thought to be particularly relevant, and an increase in serotonergic signaling is thought to generally decrease food consumption (evidenced by fenfluramine , however ...
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]
An image rendered using Mental Ray which demonstrates global illumination, photon maps, depth of field, ambient occlusion, glossy reflections, soft shadows and bloom. The primary feature of Mental Ray is the achievement of high performance through parallelism on both multiprocessor machines and across render farms.
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.
English: Skeletal formula of serotonin, C 10 H 12 N 2 O. Structure based on X-ray crystallographic determination from Acta Chem. Scand. (1978) 32a, 267–270. Structure originally drawn in ChemBioDraw Ultra 12.0 by Ben Mills. It was then manually retraced with Inkscape.
