The developmental role of serotonin: news from mouse molecular genetics
New genetic models that target the serotonin system show that transient alterations in
serotonin homeostasis cause permanent changes to adult behaviour and modify the fine …

Adolescent cortical development: a critical period of vulnerability for addiction
Cortical growth and remodeling continues from birth through youth and adolescence to
stable adult levels changing slowly into senescence. There are critical periods of cortical …

Activation of serotonin 2A receptors underlies the psilocybin-induced effects on α oscillations, N170 visual-evoked potentials, and visual hallucinations
Visual illusions and hallucinations are hallmarks of serotonergic hallucinogen-induced
altered states of consciousness. Although the serotonergic hallucinogen psilocybin activates …

Modern views on an ancient chemical: serotonin effects on cell proliferation, maturation, and apoptosis
EC Azmitia - Brain research bulletin, 2001 - Elsevier
Evolutionarily, serotonin existed in plants even before the appearance of animals. Indeed,
serotonin may be tied to the evolution of life itself, particularly through the role of tryptophan …

Serotonin and brain development
MSK Sodhi, E Sanders-Bush - International review of neurobiology, 2004 - Elsevier
Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT), the “happy hormone,” has a phylogenetically ancient
role in neural transmission (Turlejski, 1996). Because the serotonergic system has a …

Transient uptake and storage of serotonin in developing thalamic neurons
Abstract Serotonin (5-HT) has been shown to affect the development and patterning of the
mouse barrelfield. We show that the dense transient 5-HT innervation of the somatosensory …

Genetic and early environmental influences on the serotonin system: consequences for brain development and risk for psychopathology
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 …

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