There is as yet little evidence of specific association between abnormal serotonin activity and any of the key cognitive features of autism. More circumscribed study of particular cognitive functions of autism may yet yield new insights. Perhaps most promisingly, the findings of associations between serotonin functioning and obsessional behaviour indicate the need for further investigation. [Pg.318]

Panic attacks, dissociative episodes, and flashbacks appear to be related to serotonin function (Southwick et ah, 1991). Thus, there are significant phenomenological overlaps between PTSD symptoms and their comorbid conditions that share mediation by serotonergic systems. [Pg.586]

Evidence from numerous preclinical and clinical studies suggests that dysfunction of serotonin neurons plays a role in the pathophysiology of anxiety. Since the early 1980s, the classic hypothesis of serotonin function in anxiety has suggested that the serotonin system promotes anxiety, whereas suppression of this system diminishes it. The discovery of numerous serotonin recep-... [Pg.335]

Manipulation of the serotonergic system in animal models can be implemented with several strategies inhibition of serotonin synthesis, destruction of serotonin neurons, use of serotonin antagonists, and increase of serotonin function. [Pg.357]

Early experiments that attempted to increase serotonin function were necessarily restricted to drug treatments that caused a generalized effect throughout the brain and presumably were influencing all serotonin receptors. Using this approach, the systemic administration of 5-hydroxytryptophan, to in-... [Pg.539]

The first neurochemical evidence of a disturbed serotonin function in cognition came from the changes in serotonin and/or 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) levels in a number of forebrain nuclei, the temporal and cingulate cortex, hippocampus, and other areas of the brain taken at autopsy from patients with senile dementia of the Alzheimer s type (Adolfsson et al. 1978 Arai et al. 1984 D.

The clinical implications of such data point to a relationship between abnormalities in the central serotonin system and self-injurious behavior. These findings have led to an interest in developing specific drugs that alter 5-HT activity to treat suicidality, impulsivity, and aggressivity independent of any specific psychiatric disorder. Central serotonin function can be enhanced by agents such as lithium and various serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Recent studies have found that the use of such agents is associated with reductions in the likelihood of suicide attempts and completions in both patients with major depression and those with cluster... [Pg.109]

Lithium carbonate and lithium citrate are the most commonly used compounds. Lithium has effects on cation transport, on individual neurotransmitters (including 5-HT) and on intracellular second messenger systems. Which of these is key to its therapeutic efficacy is not entirely clear but, as for the antidepressant drugs, the net effects seem to be to enhance serotonin function and to stabilise the noradrenergic system. Once lithium treatment is established it is very important that it is not suddenly stopped as this may result in rebound hypomania. [Pg.179]

Naturally Occurring Compounds. Many derivatives of indole arc found in plants and animals where they are derived from the amino acid [ryplophan. Several oT ihese have important biological function or activity. Serotonin functions as a neuroiransinitler and vasoconstrictor Melatonin production is controlled by the circadian cycle and its physiological level influences daily and seasonal rhythms in humans and other species. Indole-3-acelic acid is a plant growth stimulant used in several horticultural applications. [Pg.826]

Dopamine and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Up to 40% of OCD patients do not respond to SSRIs, Thus, at least some OCD patients fail to demonstrate convincing dys-regulation in serotonin function. Therefore, other neurotransmitters may be involved in the pathophysiology of OCD in some patients. [Pg.339]
