Serotonin (5-HT), a versatile signaling molecule, plays a variety of roles in both neurotransmission and tissue regulation. The influence of serotonin on early development was first studied in marine invertebrate embryos and has since been documented in a variety of vertebrate species, including mammals. The present study investigates the expression and functional activity of serotonin components in mouse embryos, focusing on key receptors and transporters.

Aims: Fibromyalgia patients might experience temporomandibular disorder (TMD) as a comorbidity. However, the connection between these two syndromes is not fully understood. Nociceptin (N/OFQ) and NOP receptors are implicated in both conditions, but their relevance in the comorbidity needs investigation.

The 5-lipoxygenase/leukotriene system has been implicated in both physiological and pathological states within the central nervous system. Understanding how this system interacts with the dopaminergic system could provide valuable insights into dopamine-related pathologies. This study focused on examining both motor and non-motor dopamine-related responses in 5-lipoxygenase/leukotriene-deficient mice.

This systematic review was carried out with the aim of evaluating the use of medicinal Cannabis for the treatment of Parkinson's disease in experimental models. Furthermore, we sought to understand the main intracellular mechanisms capable of promoting the effects of phytocannabinoids on motor disorders, neurodegeneration, neuroinflammation and oxidative stress. The experimental models were developed in mice, rats and marmosets.
