Background: Serotonergic signalling has been implicated in numerous hypothalamic functions including circadian rhythmicity, feeding and the modulation of neuroendocrine systems. In spite of the importance of these functions, the neuroanatomy of the serotonergic system in the human hypothalamus is still unknown.Aim and methods: To increase insight in hypothalamic serotonin signalling in humans, we investigated the distribution of serotonin transporters (S...
