Cortical GABAergic interneurons constitute an extremely diverse population of cells
organized in a well-defined topology of precisely interconnected cells. They play a crucial …

The neurotransmitter serotonin controls a variety of physiological and behavioral processes.
In humans, mutations affecting monoamine oxidase (MAO), the serotonin-degrading …

Serotonin is a well-known neurotransmitter and neurohormone regulating mood, sleep,
feeding, and learning in high organisms. Serotonin also affects the embryonic events related …

ABSTRACT Serotonin type 3 (5‐HT3) receptors are ligand‐gated ion channels formed by
five subunits (5‐HT3A‐E), which are encoded by the HTR3A, HTR3B, HTR3C, HTR3D, and …

This review highlights a key role of the serotonergic system in brain development and in
distortions of normal brain development in early stages of fetal life resulting in cascades of …

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a gut-brain disorder of multifactorial origin. Evidence of
disturbed serotonergic function in IBS accumulated for the 5-HT3 receptor family. 5-HT3Rs …

Serotonin is implicated in many, if not all, psychiatric disorders and is therefore the most
studied neurotransmitter in our brain. Nevertheless, the developing serotonergic system and …

Dendritic spines are small, thin, hair-like protrusions found on the dendritic processes of
neurons. They serve as independent compartments providing large amplitudes of Ca2+ …

Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a multifactorial chronic and debilitating
mood disease with high lifetime prevalence and associated with excess mortality …

Serotonin axons in the adult rodent brain can regrow and recover their function following
several forms of injury including controlled cortical impact (CCI), a neocortical stab wound …
