Preferred Label : Negative Regulation of Serotonin Release;
NCIt synonyms : Serotonin Activity Inhibition;
NCIt definition : Any process which reduces the steady-state level or inhibits the release of the monoamine
neurotransmitter serotonin, resulting in diminished or abbreviated neurotransmission.
Some antidepressants act by selectively enhancing reuptake of serotonin from synapses,
thus reducing neurotransmission. This process is involved in numerous functions, including
regulation of mood, appetite, sleep, muscle contraction, and some cognitive functions
including memory and learning.;
