Disrupting peripheral serotonin synthesis drives sex-specific alterations in sociability and cognition, and reshapes the gut-immune-brain axis.

Serotonin (5-HT) regulates neurodevelopment and behavior. Whereas central 5-HT is synthesized by tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH)-2, the TPH1 isoform produces 5-HT peripherally. Although these systems are anatomically segregated, TPH1 gene polymorphisms have been linked to neuropsychiatric vulnerability, suggesting that pe...

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...
