Effects of Constitutive Depletion or Excess of Serotonin during Development on the Maturation of Prefrontal Monoaminergic Circuits
Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) is a critical neuromodulatory morphogen-like signal that governs prenatal cortical circuit assembly, and altered 5-HT signaling is implicated in a wide range of psychiatric disorders. Yet the structural consequences of lifelong 5-HT imbalance during the initial blueprinting phase...
