Many therapeutic strategies aim at altering serotonin brain levels. However, serotonin (5-HT) is known to influence the cerebral circulation. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of acutely decreasing intracerebral serotonin release upon cerebral blood flow and cerebrovascular reactivity to hypercapnia in conscious rats. To this end, (1) we analyzed the time-course of cortical blood flow changes measured with laser-Doppler flowmetry following injection of 0.1 mg kg(-1) 8-OHDPAT (5-HT1A agonist), and (2) we evaluated the cerebrovascular reactivity to hypercapnia using a quantitative multiregional diffusible tracer technique 5 and 60 min following 8-OHDPAT administration. 8-OHDPAT induced a rapid and transient increase in cortical blood flow (+34%) that was prevented totally by WAY100135 (5-HT1A antagonist) pre-treatment. Five min following 8-OHDPAT administration, the cerebrovascular responsiveness to hypercapnia was increased significantly in striatum (+27%) and fronto-parietal cortex (+61%). This result is consistent with a vasoconstrictor role of the serotonergic system that becomes manifest during hyperemic conditions.

D009043 Motor Activity Body movements of a human or an animal as a behavioral phenomenon. Activities, Motor,Activity, Motor,Motor Activities
D009435 Synaptic Transmission The communication from a NEURON to a target (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell) across a SYNAPSE. In chemical synaptic transmission, the presynaptic neuron releases a NEUROTRANSMITTER that diffuses across the synaptic cleft and binds to specific synaptic receptors, activating them. The activated receptors modulate specific ion channels and/or second-messenger systems in the postsynaptic cell. In electrical synaptic transmission, electrical signals are communicated as an ionic current flow across ELECTRICAL SYNAPSES.

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
