Stress has been considered as one of the etiological factors in Psychiatric Disease, since it induces behavioural, neuroendocrine and cardiovascular changes, leading to an arousal state which in turn can be observed by changes in behaviour and central nervous system functioning. Such responses are coordinated by several brain structures such as prefrontal cortex (PFCx), hippocampus (dH), …
Major Depression is a complex disease which etiology has been associated to a central serotoninergic disfuncion and/or exposure to inescapable/uncontrollable stress. On the other hand, adaptation to stressful situations involves changes in the functioning of serotoninergic systems mediated by different receptors. Serotoninergic projection from the Median Raphe Nucleus (MnRN) to the Dorsal…

Serotonin (5-HT) is a neurotransmitter that regulates various physiological and behavioral processes and is involved in adaptation to aversive events, such as forced detention and forced swimming. Serotonergic dysfunctions are associated to various disorders, such as depression. The serotonergic projections of the median raphe nucleus (MRN) towards the dorsal hippocampus, would be respons…
Existing theories regarding the cause of depressive disorders focus on monoamines, specially the role of serotonin (5-HT). Evidences support the hypothesis that serotoninergic neurotransmission is not only involved with the process of adaptation to aversive events, but it is also sensible to different kinds of stressors. The literature provides evidence that the serotonin pathway connecti…
Serotonin (5-HT) is a neurotransmitter that regulates diverse physiological processes are involved in the adaptation to aversive events, such as forced immobilization. Serotonergic projections that depart from the Median Raphe Nucleus (NMnR) toward the Dorsal Hippocampus, would be responsible for adapting to stress. The 5-HT7 receptor is a 5-HT postsynaptic present in several brain struct…
