Serotonin (5-HT) is a critical player in brain development and neuropsychiatric disorders.
Fetal 5-HT levels can be influenced by several gestational factors, such as maternal …

Fetuses are exposed to many environmental perturbations that can influence their
development. These factors can be easily identifiable such as drugs, chronic diseases or …

In addition to its role in the pathophysiology of numerous psychiatric disorders, increasing
evidence points to serotonin (5-HT) as a crucial molecule for the modulation of …

Background: Despite more than 60 years of research in the role of serotonin (5-HT) in
psychopathology, many questions still remain. From a developmental perspective, studies …

In addition to its role in neurotransmission, embryonic serotonin (5-HT) has been implicated
in the regulation of neurodevelopmental processes. For example, we recently showed that a …

The serotonin receptor 5‐HT2A (encoded by HTR2A) is an important regulator of fetal brain
development and adult cognitive function. Environmental signals that induce epigenetic …

Changing serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) brain levels during critical periods in
development has long-lasting effects on brain function, particularly on later …

Finely tuning levels of the key neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine [5-HT])
during early life is essential for brain development and setting pathways for health and …

Despite increasing evidence suggests that serotonin (5-HT) can influence neurogenesis,
neuronal migration and circuitry formation, the precise role of 5-HT on central nervous …
