Kap states that serotonin has a role in:
mood, sleep, sexual activity, agression, anxiety, motor activity, cognitive function, appetite, circadian rhythms, neuroendocrine function and body temp...
Can anyone give more details on this??
How, and in which states is it increased/decreased...
Also:
depression (dec. ser), mania(i think incr. ser), impulsive agression, schizo, anxiety, ocd, autism, alzheimers disease, chronic pain, anorexia, bulemia, narcolepsy, myoclonus...
HOW is serotonin involved in all of the above...
Just a brief sentence will be enough.. Thanks.

That was an excellent explanation tolito...
Since depression has decreased serotonin, does mania therefore have increased serotonin?
