Serum serotonin levels in patients with epileptic seizures
Epilepsia May 23, 2018
Murugesan A, et al. - Study authors attempted to examine epileptic seizure–induced changes in serum serotonin levels and whether there are potential implications for sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP).

Based on the findings, they suggested that peripheral serum serotonin levels could play a role in seizure features and earlier postseizure recovery
