Diagram summarizing the present results. a Pinching of the skin increases 5-HT release in the contralateral CeA. b Stroking of the skin decreases 5-HT release in both the ipsilateral and contralateral CeA. c Increased 5-HT release in the contralateral CeA in response to pinching was abolished with simultaneous application of stroking. CeA the central nucleus of the amygdala, 5-HT serotonin, plus excitatory influence, minus inhibitory influence
