Serotonin | Neurotransmitters explained

In this easy-to-understand 2-minute video, I explain the role of serotonin in the brain and gut and its role in different neurological diseases (e.g. depression, serotonin syndrome) as well as how serotonin receptors can be a target for the treatment of nausea and vomiting (Serotonin receptor antagonists, 5HT3 receptor antagonist)

The neurotransmitter serotonin is considered to be a natural mood stabilizer and low levels of it are associated with depression. High levels on the other hand may lead to 'serotonine syndrome'.

Great video! How is the serotonine exactly made in the cells of the brain and the guts? Thank you for your answer!:)

It being in gut and feeling happy after eating, are they connected?

The chemical imbalance theory is nonsense.

Did you just say that low serotonin causes syphillis??? You do know that syphillis is an STD, right?? Woah. I think you have that backwards??
