As a neurotransmitter, serotonin carries messages between nerve cells in your brain (your central nervous system) and throughout your body (your peripheral nervous system). These chemical messages ...

A global research collaboration has revealed how certain gut cells switch on pain signals, which can linger long after the ...

Circulating serotonin is produced in the duodenum by enterochromaffin cells, specialized endocrine cells in the epithelia lining the gut, and functions within a specialized neuroendocrine network.

IT has been demonstrated that, besides heparin and histamine, mast cells contain serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) 1–3. However, serotonin-containing mast cells, having been found ...

Understanding the neural circuits that drive anxiety may help researchers discover circuit-specific targets and therefore increase the precision of treatment strategies.

How does nerve cell communication go awry in depression? Where once researchers and clinicians focused on the role of neurotransmitters such as serotonin in depression, they now know that ...

The scientists began their presentation, explaining that they believed that serotonin - the much-studied neurotransmitter ... Inventia Life Science, an innovator in 3D cell culture technologies, ...

Serotonin is produced peripherally by the intestinal chromaffin cells and centrally by nuclei found in the lower pons and upper brain stem (Mills, 1997). It regulates emotional, personality ...

Serotonin can promote both pulmonary vasoconstriction and pulmonary vascular remodeling and is thought to be involved in the pathobiology of PAH. A polymorphism in the serotonin transporter (SERT ...

Researchers think that antidepressants stop your nerve cells from reabsorbing the neurotransmitters after they've been used. This helps maintain higher levels of serotonin and norepinephrine in ...
