Journal of Neural Transmission Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The plasma serotonin contents of fourty-three cerebrovascular patients were examined.

  1. 1.

    Abnormal serotonin contents were found in 72 per cent of fourtythree cerebrovascular patients.

  2. 2.

    In cerebral hemorrhage, serotonin contents were significantly low in the acute period.

  3. 3.

    Serotonin contents in cerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage, had an increasing tendency from the fourth week to the eighth week, but after the eighth week, they returned to normal.
