What Causes Serotonin Syndrome? Like all diseases, doctors work very hard to understand what is happening within the body when a condition like this occurs. The nerve cells throughout the body produce serotonin as normal. The nerves that are at the base of your brain and in the spinal cord produce a very specific type of serotonin which is used to keep your attention steady and to help regulate body temperature and body focus.
