The 47 pages that link to Serotonin, each with the reason it gives.

• DopamineCompared with: It is often contrasted with dopamine, but their functions overlap and resist simple oppositions.

• Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitorRelated: Blocking its reuptake changes serotonin signaling without simply creating more serotonin.

• NeurotransmitterBroader topic: Its signaling illustrates how one transmitter can affect diverse brain and body processes.

• Obsessive–compulsive disorderRelated: The effectiveness of serotonin-targeting medicines informs, but does not settle, theories of OCD biology.

• AcetylcholineCompared with: Serotonin provides a contrasting modulatory system with different receptors and brain pathways.

• MelatoninRelated: The pineal gland converts serotonin into melatonin through a two-step pathway.

• NorepinephrineCompared with: It is another monoamine targeted by antidepressants, but arises from a different synthesis pathway.

• Serotonin syndromeNarrower topic: Excessive signaling by this neurotransmitter drives the syndrome.

• Serotonin transporterRelated: It is the molecule the transporter binds and moves across the membrane.

• Seasonal affective disorderRelated: Seasonal changes in light exposure may influence serotonin systems implicated in depressive symptoms.

• CatecholamineCompared with: It is often compared with dopamine but belongs to a different chemical family.

• Premenstrual dysphoric disorderRelated: Serotonergic signaling helps explain why selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors can reduce symptoms.

• TryptophanRelated: Tryptophan is converted through 5-hydroxytryptophan into serotonin.

• AggressionRelated: Serotonergic activity is associated with regulation of impulsive aggression.

• Descending pain modulationRelated: Serotonergic brainstem projections can either inhibit or facilitate spinal pain signals.

• IndoleBroader topic: Its structure contains an indole core modified with hydroxyl and ethylamine groups.

• OndansetronNarrower topic: Serotonin released in the gut activates the receptors ondansetron blocks.

• Antidepressant discontinuation syndromeRelated: Changes in serotonergic signaling help explain symptoms after reducing some antidepressants.

• LSDNarrower topic: LSD resembles serotonin and acts on several of its receptor types.

• Serotonin receptorRelated: It is the ligand whose binding activates serotonin receptors.

• FluoxetineRelated: Fluoxetine changes serotonin signaling by limiting its reuptake.

• Monoamine oxidaseBroader topic: MAO-A is a major route for serotonin breakdown.

• SertralineRelated: Sertraline changes serotonin signaling by limiting its reuptake.

• BradykininCompared with: Serotonin can affect vessels and sensory nerves, but is chemically and biosynthetically distinct from bradykinin.

• BuspironeNarrower topic: Buspirone alters signaling through a receptor for this neurotransmitter.

• Gut-brain axisRelated: Most of the body's serotonin is produced in the gut, where it helps regulate motility and sensation.

• Serotonin 5-HT2A receptorNarrower topic: It is the endogenous ligand named in the receptor’s common name.

• AkathisiaRelated: Serotonergic signaling may contribute to akathisia and is one reason its mechanisms remain unsettled.

• MDMARelated: MDMA’s large increase in serotonin signaling contributes to its emotional and perceptual effects.

• Pineal glandRelated: Pineal melatonin is made through chemical modification of serotonin.

• Vesicular monoamine transporter 2Broader topic: VMAT2 transports serotonin into vesicles in serotonergic neurons.

• Migraine prophylaxisRelated: Serotonergic signaling helps explain the actions of some older preventive drugs.

• MirtazapineRelated: Mirtazapine changes serotonergic signaling through increased release and selective receptor blockade.

• NeuromodulationBroader topic: Serotonin can produce diverse circuit effects because it acts on multiple receptor types.

• Premenstrual syndromeRelated: Serotonergic signaling may help explain emotional and behavioral symptoms.

• ClomipramineNarrower topic: Clomipramine’s principal reuptake effect increases serotonin signaling between neurons.

• ParoxetineRelated: Paroxetine alters signaling by this neurotransmitter.

• TramadolRelated: Tramadol’s inhibition of serotonin reuptake contributes to analgesia and interaction hazards.

• TryptamineBroader topic: Serotonin is a hydroxylated tryptamine derivative and a major biological product of related pathways.

• Carcinoid syndromeRelated: Excess serotonin from some tumors drives diarrhea and can promote fibrotic heart-valve damage.

• EscitalopramBroader topic: Escitalopram changes signaling by this neurotransmitter.

• PsilocinNarrower topic: Psilocin resembles serotonin and acts on several receptors that serotonin normally activates.

• Psilocybin mushroomNarrower topic: Psilocin alters signaling in a system that serotonin normally helps regulate.

• ReserpineBroader topic: Reserpine also depletes serotonin, helping explain its broad neurological effects.

• SumatriptanNarrower topic: Sumatriptan imitates serotonin at selected receptor subtypes rather than activating all serotonin receptors.

• Anthranilic acidRelated: Anthranilic acid contributes indirectly to serotonin production through tryptophan biosynthesis.

• CycloserineRelated: Cycloserine can affect central nervous system function, making mood and behavior changes clinically relevant.
