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 ...
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.
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]
Trace amines have a modulatory effect on neurotransmission in monoamine pathways (i.e., dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin pathways) throughout the brain via signaling through trace amine-associated receptor 1. [45] [46] A brief comparison of these systems follows:
The 5-HT 2A receptor is a subtype of the 5-HT 2 receptor that belongs to the serotonin receptor family and is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR). [4] The 5-HT 2A receptor is a cell surface receptor, [5] but has several intracellular locations. [6] Like all 5-HT 2 receptors, the 5-HT 2A receptor is G q /G 11-protein coupled.
Cell group B9 is a group of cells located in the pontine tegmentum, ventral to serotonergic group B8.In the nonhuman primate they are found in the ventral part of the superior central nucleus and adjacent structures. [3]
The 5-HT 7 receptor is a member of the GPCR superfamily of cell surface receptors and is activated by the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT). [5] The 5-HT 7 receptor is coupled to G s (stimulates the production of the intracellular signaling molecule cAMP) [6] [7] and is expressed in a variety of human tissues, particularly in the brain, the gastrointestinal tract, and in ...
