Examples of serotonin

• It appears that endogenous and/or exogenous serotonin in preimplantation embryos could be involved in complex autocrine/paracrine regulations of embryo development and embryo-maternal interactions.

• Current studies are being carried out to determine the pharmacology, ion dependence and molecular basis for larval tegumental serotonin transporters.

• Other neurotransmitters affected include acetylcholine, serotonin and noradrenaline, but the role of these substances in the clinical syndrome is uncertain.

• In contrast, (bottom) the conjoint effects of negativity and peripheral serotonin accounted for 64% of the variance in self-injury.

• In normal awake and slow wave sleep states, the raphe nucleus is releasing serotonin.

• Efficacy of paroxetine in depression is influenced by a functional polymorphism within the promoter of the serotonin transporter gene.

• In other words, by altering serotonin terminal development, prenatal exposure alters events weeks downstream from the exposure.

• Effect of atmospheric ions on hippocampal pyramidal neuron responsiveness to serotonin.
