'''Serotonergic psychedelics''' (also known as '''serotonergic [[hallucinogen]]s''') are a class of [[hallucinogenic]] substances with a method of action strongly tied to modifying the normal [[neurotransmitter|neurotransmission]] of [[serotonin]] in the central nervous system (CNS). Serotonin, which is also referred to as '''5-HT''' (from its chemical name '''5'''-'''h'''ydroxy-'''t'''ryptamine) is a naturally-occurring [[monoamine neurotransmitter]] which is tied to developmental, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and endocrine function, sensory perception, behaviors such as aggression, appetite, sex, sleep, mood, cognition, and memory, many of which have yet to be fully understood.<ref>David E. Nichols and Charles D. Nichols, Serotonin Receptors. Chemical Reviews. 2008. 108 (5), 1614-1641. https://doi.org/10.1021/cr078224o</ref>
