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
Mesocortical pathway; Mesolimbic pathway; Nigrostriatal pathway; Tuberoinfundibular pathway; Serotonergic pathways. Raphe Nuclei; Norepinephrine Pathways Locus coeruleus and other noradrenergic cell groups; Epinephrine pathways from adrenergic cell groups; Glutamate and acetylcholine pathways from mesopontine nuclei
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]

One study found that this raphe–hippocampus pathway plays a critical role in regulation of hippocampal activity and likely associated memory consolidation processes. [14] It has been shown that the MRN is a contributor of serotonergic agents, especially 5-HT to the hippocampus.
