[Serotonin and the functional development of the hippocampus in tissue culture]. 1983

A R Chubakov, and E P Sarkisova, and V G Tsyganova

The influence of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) on the functional development and chemical sensitivity of the hippocampus neurons has been studied in newborn rats under the conditions of long-term (up to 35 days) in vitro cultivation. The regular introduction of 5-HT in the nutrient medium resulted in an earlier formation of spontaneous pulse activity of neurons and an increase in the number of active cells in the explants. The neurons with periodic (burst or grouped) activity characteristic of the hippocampus neurons in situ predominated in these cultures. 5-HT was shown to inhibit the activity of the most (88%) neurons grown in the medium with 5-HT and this effect was blocked by LSD. The data obtained allow to consider 5-HT as an endogenous factor regulating the postnatal development of the rat hippocampus.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008238 Lysergic Acid Diethylamide Semisynthetic derivative of ergot (Claviceps purpurea). It has complex effects on serotonergic systems including antagonism at some peripheral serotonin receptors, both agonist and antagonist actions at central nervous system serotonin receptors, and possibly effects on serotonin turnover. It is a potent hallucinogen, but the mechanisms of that effect are not well understood.

D006624 Hippocampus A curved elevation of GRAY MATTER extending the entire length of the floor of the TEMPORAL HORN of the LATERAL VENTRICLE (see also TEMPORAL LOBE). The hippocampus proper, subiculum, and DENTATE GYRUS constitute the hippocampal formation. Sometimes authors include the ENTORHINAL CORTEX in the hippocampal formation.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012701 Serotonin A biochemical messenger and regulator, synthesized from the essential amino acid L-TRYPTOPHAN. In humans it is found primarily in the central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, and blood platelets. Serotonin mediates several important physiological functions including neurotransmission, gastrointestinal motility, hemostasis, and cardiovascular integrity. Multiple receptor families (RECEPTORS, SEROTONIN) explain the broad physiological actions and distribution of this biochemical mediator. 5-HT,5-Hydroxytryptamine,3-(2-Aminoethyl)-1H-indol-5-ol,Enteramine,Hippophaine,Hydroxytryptamine,5 Hydroxytryptamine
D046508 Culture Techniques Methods of maintaining or growing biological materials in controlled laboratory conditions. These include the cultures of CELLS; TISSUES; organs; or embryo in vitro. Both animal and plant tissues may be cultured by a variety of methods. Cultures may derive from normal or abnormal tissues, and consist of a single cell type or mixed cell types.
