Abnormal processing of serotonin has been implicated in cognitive decline in normal aging, Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia. Serotonin is a neuro transmitter. It is used by the body to send messages between the nerve cells.
Serotonin is scientifically known as 5-hydroxytryptamine (5 HT). It is mostly found in blood platelets, the brain and the intestines. It seems to affect digestion, appetite, mood and emotions. The body clock and sleep wake cycles are also regulated by it. It appears to have an impact on a variety of physical and psychological processes because it occurs all over the body.
Alzheimer's disease and memory loss may be fueled by low serotonin levels. Serotonin levels may be higher and norepinephrine levels may be lower in the brains of people with schizophrenia.
