  2. Serotonin pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serotonin_pathway

    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 ...

  3. Serotonin - Wikipedia

    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.

  4. 5-HT3 receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5-HT3_receptor

    The genes HTR3A and HTR3B encode the 5-HT 3A and 5-HT 3B subunits and HTR3C, HTR3D and HTR3E encode the 5-HT 3C, 5-HT 3D and 5-HT 3E subunits. HTR3C and HTR3E do not seem to form functional homomeric channels, but when co-expressed with HTR3A they form heteromeric complex with decreased or increased 5-HT efficacies.

    The combination of dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin is already pretty dreamy, but the brain takes that natural high to the next level when you reach the big O by releasing endogenous (i.e., made ...

  7. 5-HT receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5-HT_receptor

    The 7 general serotonin receptor classes include a total of 14 known serotonin receptors. [9] The 15th receptor 5-HT 1P has been distinguished on the basis of functional and radioligand binding studies, its existence has never been definitely affirmed or refuted. [10] [11] The specific types have been characterized as follows: [12] [13] [14]

  8. Neurotransmitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurotransmitter

    Neurons expressing certain types of neurotransmitters sometimes form distinct systems, where activation of the system affects large volumes of the brain, called volume transmission. Major neurotransmitter systems include the noradrenaline (norepinephrine) system, the dopamine system, the serotonin system, and the cholinergic system, among others.

  9. DASB - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DASB

    The cerebellum is often regarded as a region with no specific serotonin transporter binding and the brain region is used as a reference in some studies. [4] Since the serotonin transporter is the target of SSRIs used in the treatment of major depression it has been natural to examine DASB binding in depressed patients. Several such research ...
