Target Information

Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is a neurotransmitter and modulator that is conserved across species. Serotonin is produced in the brainstem's raphe nuclei, enterochromaffin cells in the gastrointestinal tract, and many other tissues. Studies of gene associations between the serotonergic system and bird behavior have shown that the serotonergic system regulates bird behavior in a manner similar to that observed in mammals.
