Editing Serotonin (section)

=====Response to stimuli=====
Serotonin is important in environmental response pathways, along with other [[neurotransmitter]]s.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Sanchez CL, Biskup CS, Herpertz S, Gaber TJ, Kuhn CM, Hood SH, Zepf FD | title = The Role of Serotonin (5-HT) in Behavioral Control: Findings from Animal Research and Clinical Implications | journal = The International Journal of Neuropsychopharmacology | volume = 18 | issue = 10 | pages = pyv050 | date = May 2015 | pmid = 25991656 | pmc = 4648158 | doi = 10.1093/ijnp/pyv050 }}</ref> Specifically, it has been found to be involved in auditory processing in social settings, as primary sensory systems are connected to social interactions.<ref name="Petersen_2017">{{cite journal | vauthors = Petersen CL, Hurley LM | title = Putting it in Context: Linking Auditory Processing with Social Behavior Circuits in the Vertebrate Brain | journal = Integrative and Comparative Biology | volume = 57 | issue = 4 | pages = 865–877 | date = October 2017 | pmid = 28985384 | pmc = 6251620 | doi = 10.1093/icb/icx055 }}</ref> Serotonin is found in the [[Inferior colliculus|IC structure]] of the midbrain, which processes specie specific and non-specific social interactions and vocalizations.<ref name="Petersen_2017" /> It also receives acoustic projections that convey signals to auditory processing regions.<ref name="Petersen_2017" /> Research has proposed that serotonin shapes the auditory information being received by the IC and therefore is influential in the responses to auditory stimuli.<ref name="Petersen_2017" /> This can influence how an organism responds to the sounds of predatory or other impactful species in their environment, as serotonin uptake can influence aggression or social interaction.
