Serotonin and thermoregulation

Posted by Jamal Spelling on January 17, 2008, at 7:20:01

In what way does serotonin assist with regulating body temperature?

For example, is it that too much serotonin raises your body temperature? Or that, with too little serotonin, you have poor thermoregulation? Or what?

I know that, with too much serotonin (as in serotonin syndrome), you have poor thermoregulation. But what exactly is the relationship between serotonin and body temperature?

And if serotonergic dysfunction is a cause of depression, then why don't depressed individuals have thermoregulation issues? Or do they?
