Elsevier Serotonin: The Mediator that Spans Evolution - Academic Press

Serotonin: The Mediator that Spans Evolution offers a thorough examination of serotonin's critical functions across respiratory, cardiovascular, and thermoregulatory control systems, as well as its essential roles in growth and development during early life. This comprehensive resource explores serotonin's behaviour under normal conditions and its responses to various physiological stressors, utilising advanced animal models with detailed comparisons between mice and rat studies. The book investigates both brain and blood serotonin systems, contrasting their physiological effects and presenting emerging research on their interactions. Designed for medical and healthcare practitioners, researchers, and students, this volume synthesises current knowledge on how serotonin mediates critical biological processes across species evolution.
