Serotonin

Part of the book series: Medical Science Symposia Series ((MSSS,volume 5))

Abstract

Functional interactions between the central nervous system and the immune system occur through as a complex network involving neurotransmitters, hormones, and cytokines. The serotoninergic system likely plays a role in these interactions.
