Lighting up the brain: What happens when our 'serotonin center' is triggered?

Scientists have studied the main source of serotonin in the brain the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN). By studying how activating the brain s serotonin center affects awake animals for the first time, they found that serotonin from the DRN activates brain areas that affect behavior and motivation. Results show that DRN serotonin stimulation causes activation of the cerebral cortex and the basal ganglia, brain areas involved in many cognitive functions.

In recent research published in Scientific Reports, researchers used the technique to untangle the human brain s wiring to better understand the changes that accompany neurological or mental disorders such as Parkinson s or Alzheimer s disease. Professor Kenji Doya, who leads the Neural Computation Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) said that connectome of the brain is vital to fully understand the brain and all the complex processes it carries out before coming to a conclusion.
