Abstract
Results indicate that vascular responses to temperature stimulation are predominantly impaired in animals with 5-HT deprivation. A hypothesis is therefore raised that the 5-HT system participates in body temperature regulation in such a way as to link the regulatory output with vasomotor pathways. The 5-HT system in the spinal cord has been shown to inhibit the afferent transmission of temperature signals. Therefore, depletion of 5-HT does not prevent sensory transmission, at least at the spinal cord level.
