Why is there serotonin in snake venom if that chemical is the chemical that makes us happy?
In:
Serotonin isn’t a “happy chemical,” it’s a signalling molecule.
Think of it as a green light. When you’re driving your car, it means go! When you’re looking at your computer, it means on. When you’re looking at Christmas decorations, it means Christmas decorations. Context is just as important as the signal itself. (In this case, context means the receptors and the end organ/neural networks utilizing the signal)
