[Effect of serotonin on the electrical activity of the cerebral cortex in the rabbit]. 1983

D A Ignat'ev, and Z G Mamedov

Application of serotonin on the rabbit cerebral cortex produced prolonged (minutes) periodical oscillations of the activation level and the level of spatial synchronization of neocortical biopotentials. Periodical changes of biopotentials correlation were due above all to a significant reorganization of phasic correlation of the EEG theta-components of remote neocortex points. The changes may be explained by the appearance, due to serotonin, of slow oscillations of the excitation level of the cortical neurones, as a systemic transitional reaction to the change in the balance of excitatory and inhibitory processes. The ability of serotonin to influence phasic relationships of the distantly-synchronous cortical theta-rhythm is of considerable significance for conditioned activity.

D009044	Motor Cortex	Area of the FRONTAL LOBE concerned with primary motor control located in the dorsal PRECENTRAL GYRUS immediately anterior to the central sulcus. It is comprised of three areas: the primary motor cortex located on the anterior paracentral lobule on the medial surface of the brain; the premotor cortex located anterior to the primary motor cortex; and the supplementary motor area located on the midline surface of the hemisphere anterior to the primary motor cortex.

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
