Serotonin Receptor Binding Is The Key Cause Of MDMA

Serotonin receptor binding is the key cause of MDMA’s subjective effects. We can see from the picture that serotonins are bind up together with receptors – called receptor binding- then information goes trough dendrite all the way to the cell body of the neuron. Only serotonin neurotransmitter can fit into serotonin receptor, not for dopamine receptor. If the information is strong enough it will trigger an electrical impulse to its axon. Axon will only fire if the is enough amount of receptor binding.
It has been researched that partly serotonin receptor binding has affects on your mood. When you have much serotonin receptors activated the happier you are. Falling in love or other happy moments in life can trigger serotonin release and increased
