Journal ArticleDOI
The human raphe nuclei and the serotonergic system
TL;DR: Recent experimental data support the role of serotonin in modulating brain development, such that a dysfunction in serotonergic transmission during early life could lead to long lasting structural and functional alterations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cortical 5-HT2A Receptor Signaling Modulates Anxiety-Like Behaviors in Mice

Dauer,Mark S. Ansorge,Emanuela Morelli,J. John Mann,Miklós Tóth,George K. Aghajanian,Stuart C. Sealfon,René Hen,Jay A. Gingrich +19 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that global disruption of 5-HT2A receptor (5HT2AR) signaling in mice reduces inhibition in conflict anxiety paradigms without affecting fear-conditioned and depression-related behaviors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patterns of synaptic input to layer 4 of cat striate cortex
TL;DR: It is suggested that one effect of the layer 6 to layer 4 projection could be to contribute to inhibitory features of the receptive fields of layer 4 cells, which are thought to mediate inhibition within the cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution, morphology and number of monoamine-synthesizing and substance P-containing neurons in the human dorsal raphe nucleus.
Kerry G Baker,Glenda M. Halliday,Jean-Pierre Hornung,L. B. Geffen,Richard G. H. Cotton,Istvan Törk +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that there are demonstrable chemical differences between the various subregions of the human dorsal raphe nucleus, in harmony with the results of hodological studies in animals, which have demonstrated differential projection pathways emerging from this nucleus.
Journal ArticleDOI
N-methyl-d-aspartate-triggered neuronal death in organotypic hippocampal cultures is endocytic, autophagic and mediated by the c-Jun N-terminal kinase pathway
TL;DR: The results show that pyramidal neurons undergoing excitotoxic death in this situation are autophagic and endocytic and that both the cell death and the associated autophagy andendocytosis are under the control of the c‐Jun N‐terminal kinase pathway.
