Stress and serotonin turnover in normal subjects: relation to serotonin deficiencies in mental disorders. Abstract presented at the 5th International Congress of Psychophysiology, Budapest, Hungary, 9-13 July, 1990.

In general, higher levels of whole body serotonin were correlated with less anxiety, less depression, less aggression, and less impulsiveness.
