Given the wide area that the many serotonergic neurons innervate, these pathways are implicated in many functions, as listed above. The caudal serotonergic nuclei heavily innervate the spinal cord, medulla and cerebellum. In general, manipulation of the caudal nuclei(e.g. pharmacological, lesion, receptor knockout) that results in decreased ...
The serotonergic pathway is involved in sensorimotor function, with pathways projecting both into cortical (Dorsal and Median Raphe Nuclei), subcortical, and spinal areas involved in motor activity. Pharmacological manipulation suggests that serotonergic activity increases with motor activity while firing rates of serotonergic neurons increase ...
The 5-HT 1B receptor as an example of a metabotropic serotonin receptor. Its crystallographic structure in ribbon representation. 5-HT receptors, 5-hydroxytryptamine receptors, or serotonin receptors, are a group of G protein-coupled receptor and ligand-gated ion channels found in the central and peripheral nervous systems.
A serotonergic substance, medication, or receptor protein is one that affects neurotransmission pathways that involve serotonin, as follows: Serotonergic drugs Serotonin receptor agonists; Serotonin receptor antagonists; Serotonin reuptake inhibitors; Serotonin releasing agents; Serotonergic psychedelics; Serotonergic cells Serotonergic cell groups

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]
The raphe nuclei have a vast impact upon the central nervous system. Many of the neurons in the nuclei (but not the majority) are serotonergic; i.e., contain serotonin, a type of monoamine neurotransmitter and are modulated through fibrous pathways in the midbrain. [19]
The dorsal raphe is the largest serotonergic nucleus and provides a substantial proportion of the serotonin innervation to the forebrain. Serotonergic neurons are found throughout the dorsal raphe nucleus and tend to be larger than other cells.
