Negative Association Between Allopregnanolone and Cerebral Serotonin Transporter Binding in Healthy Women of Fertile Age
Front Psychol. 2019 Jan 11;9:2767. doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2018.02767. eCollection 2018. ABSTRACT Allopregnanolone is a metabolite of the sex hormone progesterone, with suggested relevance for female mood disorders. While allopregnanolone and serotonin are known to influence psychological well-being, the molecular and psychological specifics of their relationship are to date poorly understood, especially in women of fertile age…

Trait Openness and serotonin 2A receptors in healthy volunteers: A positron emission tomography study
Hum Brain Mapp. 2019 May;40(7):2117-2124. doi: 10.1002/hbm.24511. Epub 2019 Jan 11. ABSTRACT Recent research found lasting increases in personality trait Openness in healthy individuals and patients after administration of the serotonin 2A receptor (5-HT2A R) agonist psilocybin. However, no studies have investigated whether 5-HT2A R availability as imaged using positron emission tomography (PET) is associated…

Three weeks of SSRI administration enhances the visual perceptual threshold – a randomized placebo-controlled study
Psychopharmacology (Berl). 2019 Jun;236(6):1759-1769. doi: 10.1007/s00213-018-5158-3. Epub 2019 Jan 8. ABSTRACT RATIONALE: The serotonergic system has been repeatedly linked to visual attention in general, but the effects of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) on specific components of visual attention remain unknown. Changes in distinct perceptual and cognitive processes are not readily evident in most attention…
