Serotonin neurotransmitter
Serotonin. Computer model of a molecule of the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, C10.H12.N2.O). Atoms (tubes) are colour-coded: carbon (green), hydrogen (yellow), nitrogen (pink) and oxygen (blue). Serotonin is released by blood platelets during clot formation, where it causes the constriction of blood vessels. It is an important neurotransmitter in the brain, and a lack of it has been shown to cause depression. It is this property which has led to the development of the SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) antidepressants, such as Prozac (fluoxetine). The hormone melatonin is made from serotonin in the brains pineal gland.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer-generated model of the serotonin neurotransmitter, also known as 5-hydroxytryptamine. The intricate structure of this vital molecule is beautifully depicted, with each atom color-coded for clarity: carbon in green, hydrogen in yellow, nitrogen in pink, and oxygen in blue. Serotonin plays multiple crucial roles within our bodies. It is released by blood platelets during clot formation to induce the constriction of blood vessels. In the brain, it acts as an essential neurotransmitter that regulates mood and emotions. A deficiency of serotonin has been linked to depression, highlighting its significance in mental health. The discovery of serotonin's impact on depression led to groundbreaking advancements in medicine. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as Prozac (fluoxetine), were developed to address this condition effectively. These antidepressants work by increasing serotonin levels in the brain and have revolutionized treatment options for millions worldwide. Furthermore, this remarkable molecule serves as a precursor for melatonin production within the pineal gland—a hormone responsible for regulating sleep patterns. Through this visually striking artwork created using computer modeling techniques, Science Photo Library offers us a glimpse into the complex world of biochemistry and neurology. This image not only highlights the structural beauty of serotonin but also emphasizes its critical role in various physiological processes that shape our well-being.
