New study from NIMH says that the brains of people with panic have 30 to 40% less HT1a serotonin receptors and a hyperactive T2A serotonin system.Activation of T2a eceptors causes the release of ne and dopamine.Activation of T1a receptors stops stops ne and dopamine release. Monkeys with their T1a receptors blocked act like people with panic.Blocking the release of ne stops panic.SSri drugs do this by downgradeing the t2a receptor.Fish oil inhibits the T2a receptors .SSri drugs upgrade T1a receptors.
