Serotonergic innervation of the amygdala is increased in autism spectrum disorder and decreased in Williams syndrome [PDF]

Molecular Autism, 2020
Background Williams syndrome (WS) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are neurodevelopmental disorders that demonstrate overlapping genetic associations, dichotomous sociobehavioral phenotypes, and dichotomous pathological differences in neuronal ...

Targeted anatomical and functional identification of antinociceptive and pronociceptive serotonergic neurons that project to the spinal dorsal horn

eLife, 2023
Spinally projecting serotonergic neurons play a key role in controlling pain sensitivity and can either increase or decrease nociception depending on physiological context.

Two eARCHT3.0 Lines for Optogenetic Silencing of Dopaminergic and Serotonergic Neurons

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2019
Dopaminergic and serotonergic neurons modulate and control processes ranging from reward signaling to regulation of motor outputs. Further, dysfunction of these neurons is involved in both degenerative and psychiatric disorders.

Characterization of the Sexually Dimorphic fruitless Neurons That Regulate Copulation Duration

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Male courtship in Drosophila melanogaster is a sexually dimorphic innate behavior that is hardwired in the nervous system. Understanding the neural mechanism of courtship behavior requires the anatomical and functional characterization of all the neurons

Synaptic activity in serotonergic neurons is required for air-puff stimulated flight in Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Flight is an integral component of many complex behavioral patterns in insects. The giant fiber circuit has been well studied in several insects including Drosophila.

Investigation of the Serotonergic Activity and the Serotonin Content in Serum and Platelet, and the Possible Role of the Serotonin Transporter in Patients with Depression

Behavioral Sciences, 2022
According to the monoamine hypothesis, the development of depression is associated with dysfunctions of the serotonergic system. Alterations in the serotonin transporter gene (5-HTTLPR), the serotonergic activity in the brain, and the content of ...

Inter-strain differences of serotonergic inhibitory pain control in inbred mice [PDF]

, 2010
Background: Descending inhibitory pain control contributes to the endogenous defense against chronic pain and involves noradrenergic and serotonergic systems.

Interactions Between the Serotonergic and Other Neurotransmitter Systems in the Basal Ganglia: Role in Parkinson’s Disease and Adverse Effects of L-DOPA

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2020
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. However, other non-dopaminergic neuronal systems such as the serotonergic system are also involved.
