High serotonin levels during brain development alter the structural input-output connectivity of neural networks in the rat somatosensory layer IV

High serotonin levels during brain development alter the structural input-output connectivity of neural networks in the rat somatosensory layer IV

Homeostatic regulation of serotonin (5-HT) concentration is critical for normal topographical organization and development of thalamocortical (TC) afferent circuits. Down-regulation of the serotonin transporter (SERT) and the consequent impaired reuptake of 5-HT at the synapse, results in a reduced...
