RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TELENCEPHALIC CONTENT OF SEROTONIN AND PAIN SENSITIVITY

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter presents the evidence that suggests serotonergic system in rat is involved determining an animal's sensitivity to painful stimuli. In earlier study, it was concluded of medial forebrain bundle contains fibers, and decrease serotonin content brain because degeneration this fiber The further certain experiments indicate effects experimentally produced damage can be reversed by chemical means. It from these acts inhibit a stimulus. exact mechanism which injection 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) able replete telencephalon not known. Catecholaminergic cells could take up precursor convert serotonin.
