EMR exposure may reduce Dopamine (DA) production in the hippocampus, affect rat arousal, and contribute to decreased learning and memory ability after exposure to EMR
long-term exposure to microwave radiation can lead to an increase in serotonin (5-HT) in the brain, indicating a disorder in the metabolism of the neurotransmitter.
serotonin or 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is massively synthesized in the gastrointestinal tract (mainly in enterochromafin cells), whereas only a small percentage is produced within the nervous system.
To synthesize serotonin,
1) amino acid tryptophan is converted to 5-HTP
2) 5-HTP is converted to serotonin (5-HT)
3) serotonin affects the rest of the central nervous system
Through above process, how is serotonin linked to mood?
Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you very much for any suggestions (^v^)
Serotonin, Dopamine and your Brain
Serotonin is associated with feelings of happiness, focus and calm,
Dopamine is associated with feelings of rewards, motivation, and being productive.
Results: The exposure to EMR resulted in significant changes in DA, NE and 5-HT in the four selected areas of adult rat brain.
Conclusions: The exposure of adult rats to EMR may cause disturbances in monoamine neurotransmitters and this may underlie many of the adverse effects reported after EMR including memory, learning, and stress.

I would like to confirm on whether EMR exposure may reduce serotonin or not.

"further studies are necessary to illuminate the role of 5-HT in EMR-induced learning and memory dysfunction and morphological changes in the brain." p.5
Our brain learns by forming new neural pathways, alter existing connections, and adapt and react in ever-changing ways.
1) is there any role for 5-HT play here for building new neural pathway activity?
2) would EMR cause disturbances in monoamine neurotransmitters? which make forming new neural pathway activity impossible?
Do you find any related articles about this issue?
Do you have any suggestions?

Rewards support the brain’s learning process
I would like to know on which following case come first related to DA and 5-HT.
1) After forming a new neural pathway, DA or 5-HT release to make us feel good
2) No matter what DA or 5-HT release not related to form a new neural pathway at all
