Serotonin

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter.

In 2152, Phlox's cortical scan of Travis Mayweather revealed elevated levels of serotonin and several other neurotransmitters in his brain. 

One of the effects of the Ktarian game was increased serotonin production, generating a feeling of euphoria that added to its addictive properties. 

Tampering by solanogen-based lifeforms caused elevated levels of serotonin to concentrate in the hippocampus of several crewmembers of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D). Doctor Beverly Crusher realized that this was caused by a neuro-sedative used by the aliens to sedate the victims of their experiments. 

Tom Paris exhibited elevated serotonin levels in his hypothalamus after his transwarp flight in 2372. 

Ensign Vorik had elevated serotonin levels during Pon farr.
