Serotonin neurotransmitter molecule
Serotonin molecule. Computer artwork of a molecule of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, C10.H12.N2.O), a neurotransmitter. Atoms (spheres) are colour- coded: carbon (black), hydrogen (white), nitrogen (blue) and oxygen (red). Serotonin is an important neurotransmitter in the brain, and a lack of it has been shown to cause depression. It is this property which has led to the development of the SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) antidepressants, such as Prozac (fluoxetine). The hormone melatonin is made from serotonin in the brains pineal gland. Serotonin is also released by blood platelets during clot formation, when it causes the constriction of blood vessels

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of a serotonin neurotransmitter molecule, beautifully depicted through computer artwork. Each atom is color-coded to represent its element: carbon in black, hydrogen in white, nitrogen in blue, and oxygen in red. Serotonin plays a crucial role as a neurotransmitter within the brain and its deficiency has been linked to depression. The discovery of this property led to groundbreaking advancements in medicine with the development of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants like Prozac (fluoxetine). These medications work by increasing serotonin levels in the brain, helping alleviate symptoms of depression. Beyond its impact on mental health, serotonin also serves other vital functions within our bodies. For instance, it acts as a precursor for melatonin production in the pineal gland—a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles. Additionally, during clot formation, blood platelets release serotonin which causes blood vessels to constrict. This image not only highlights the significance of serotonin from both neurological and biochemical perspectives but also exemplifies how scientific art can visually communicate complex concepts. It serves as a reminder of humanity's continuous exploration into understanding our own biology and developing innovative solutions for various conditions affecting our well-being.
