DESCRIPTION:Diverse neuropsychiatric disorders present dysfunctional memor
 y and no effective treatment exits for them\; likely as result of the abse
 nce of neural markers associated to memory. Neurotransmitter systems and s
 ignaling pathways have been implicated in memory and dysfunctional memory\
 ; however\, their role is poorly understood. Hence\, neural markers and ce
 rebral functions and dysfunctions are revised.  With focus on serotonin\, 
 since as it is a well characterized neurotransmitter\, with multiple pharm
 acological tools\, and well characterized downstream signaling in mammals'
  species. 5-HT1A\, 5-HT4\, 5-HT5\, 5-HT6\, and 5-HT7 receptors as well as 
 SERT (serotonin transporter) seem to be useful neural markers and/or thera
 peutic targets. Certainly\, if the mentioned evidence is replicated\, then
  the translatability from preclinical and clinical studies to neural chang
 es might be confirmed. Hypothesis and theories might provide appropriate l
 imits and perspectives of evidence.
