Serotonin is not a neuron, it is a neurotransmitter. It relays information between neurons, with serotonin producing a calming, happy feeling. Lack of serotonin can cause depression, but an over abundance of serotonin can cause psychosis.
Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that transmit signals and information from the presynaptic neuron to the postsynaptic neuron at the synapse. They bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, leading to changes in its membrane potential and triggering a new signal to be passed along the neural pathway. Some common neurotransmitters include acetylcholine, dopamine, serotonin, and glutamate.
A synaspe.. something like that lol
None. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins....serotonin is a neurotransmitter
The molecule released from synaptic vesicles is called neurotransmitter. It acts as the chemical messenger that transmits signals between neurons or from neurons to other cells such as muscle cells or gland cells. Examples of neurotransmitters include dopamine, serotonin, and acetylcholine.
Nerve impulses are transmitted between neurons via neurotransmittors that are released into the synapse by the sending neuron. The neurotransmittor then binds to a receptor on the receiving neuron; when enough receptors are triggered, an action potential is initiated on the receiving neuron.
receiving neuron
Yes, it is used throughout the nervous system as a neurotransmitter to pass on signals from neuron to neuron.
The SSRI class is neither antagonist nor agonist. They are re-uptake inhibitors. To the extent of my knowledge (I am NOT a doctor), a serotonin: agonist enhances production of sertonin at the source neuron, antagonists blocks binding of serotonin to the target neuron effectively blinding it, re-uptake inhibitors block the destruction of serotonin, effectively letting it act for longer.
The serotonin receptor down-regulation has an antidepressant effect if it results in a decrease in post-synaptic neuron activation by activation of the 5-HT receptors within the rostral ventrolateral medulla.

Overabundance of serotonin can cause serotonin syndrome.
The nervous system is composed of many cells called neurons, these are essentially the functional units of the nervous system. ?Neurotrnasmitters are chemical messengers that are sent from one neuron to another neuron. ?So basically they are messangers communicating from one neuron to the next. ?Some neurotransmitters are excitatory which act to help activate a neuron, some neurotransmitters are inhibitory and act to reduce excitement of a neuron. ?Many many neurotransmitters will act on a neuron at a given time and the sum total will result in either an excitation or inhibition of that neuron. ?Examples of neurotransmitters include GABA, glutamate, serotonin, dopamine, acetylcholine, histamine, ?glycine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, melatonin, substance P, and many more!
Hydroxyzine decreases serotonin levels as it a serotonin antagonist.

No, the serotonin is collected and stored by platelets but not released by them. Serotonin is secreted by Enterochromaffin cells.

Serotonin is soluble in water.
