Challenging the Serotonergic System in Parkinson Disease Patients

Abstract: The effects of nonspecific and 5-HT1a receptor-specific challenging of the serotonergic neurotransmitter system had similar effects in both PD patients and healthy control subjects. These findings indicate that serotonergic function is not impaired in early PD and that serotonin, although involved in the pathophysiology of PD, does not seem to play a direct role in cognition, mood, and motor performance in PD patients, but may be involved in hypokinesia.

“…This effect may participate in the emergence of cognitive and depressive disorders after short-and long-term treatment in PD (Zesiewicz and Hauser, 2002;Scholtissen et al, 2006). Finally, we provide evidence that the combined approaches, while not aggravating the decrease in 5-HT release, could limit side effects associated with excessive DA transmission in the brain.…”

“…While the two different approaches are very efficient in improving the motor symptoms of the disease, their motor benefits are burdened by the occurrence of psychiatric side effects, including cognitive impairments and mood disorders (Piasecki and Jefferson, 2004;Haber and Brucker, 2009;Van Rooden et al, 2009). Compelling evidence indicates that the serotonergic system, considered as an etiologic and pathophysiological factor in PD (Zesiewicz and Hauser, 2002;Scholtissen et al, 2006), plays a role in cognitive and mood disorders (Piñeyro and Blier, 1999;Bhagwagar et al, 2002). Changes in serotonergic function could participate in nonmotor side effects induced by antiparkinsonian therapies (Melamed et al, 1996).…”

“…Second, in addition to the main dopaminergic dysfunction, other neurotransmitters are dysfunctional with different degrees in PD, including acetylcholine, serotonin and norepinephrine [Baloyannis et al 2006;Bohnen et al 2006;Guttman et al 2007], although their role in cognitive dysfunction is partially unknown [Calabresi et al 2006;Marsh et al 2009;Scholtissen et al 2006] and deserves further empirical investigation.…”
