Among a plethora of factors, impaired activity of the serotonin receptors in the reward system underlies the ability of animals to self-impose food restriction, and the transition from under- to ...

A study of depressed individuals found that an eight‐week treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) reduced the activity of 5-HT4 receptors—a specific type of serotonin ...

Serotonin is involved in many physiological or pathophysiological processes including modulating mood and cognition. Seven distinct receptors (5-HT1-7), each with several subtypes, have been ...

CBD has also been found to influence serotonin receptors in the brain, which can help reduce the perception of pain and improve mood. This dual-action approach—targeting both inflammation and pain ...

The combination of spring’s natural benefits with the therapeutic effects of marijuana and CBD can amplify mood enhancement.

An intriguing observation is that, although these effects are known to be mediated by one of 14 specific serotonin receptors (2A), that receptor’s natural ligand, the neurotransmitter serotonin, does ...

Serotonin plays a significant role in the pathophysiology of migraines. Upregulation of 5-HT2A receptors is found in medication-overuse headache (MOH). Several migraine medications, both preventative ...

The results are significant because they suggest new insight into how a slow oscillation affects memory through serotonin receptors in the dentate gyrus. Convincing data are provided to support the ...

In addition, the infraslow oscillation in the DG is correlated with rhythmic serotonin release during sleep. Finally, they found that specific knockdown of 5-HT receptors in the DG impairs the ...
