Abstract in brief

  • Serotonin is well known as a neurotransmitter involved in brain function and mental health, with many drugs targeting its receptors used in psychiatry and neurology.
  • Most serotonin is located outside the brain, and it affects various bodily functions like heart activity, digestion, sexual response, and bladder control through its many receptors found both inside and outside the nervous system.
  • Recent research suggests serotonin also influences processes like blood clotting through receptor-independent mechanisms, and drugs targeting specific serotonin receptors are expanding treatment options for many diseases.]

@sanilrege Indeed! And here’s a review we wrote on this “Expanded Biology of Serotonin” with @zenbrainest - it’s 16 yrs old now but still makes the point- serotonin modulates nearly every organ and biological process- https://t.co/9Xe3YjCVfz

For more on the complex roles of serotonin, see our review (with @zenbrainest & @johnalangray) on the "Expanded Biology of Serotonin"- https://t.co/ysae4eW8Cs Its from 2009, so the full story is even more vastly complex than what we wrote then- but still a good primer. 4/13

@zenbrainest I wish I had seen this a bit earlier - it was actually the paper from your group ("The Expanded Biology of Serotonin") that first got me onto this idea back in 2020ish when I was writing a term paper on serotonin in the eye for a neuropharm course. Small world lol!
