ayesha.sengupta Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Material below summarizes the article, Control of Amygdala Circuits by 5-HT Neurons via 5-HT and Glutamate Cotransmission, published on February 15, 2017, in JNeurosci and authored by Ayesha Sengupta, Marco Bocchio, David M. Bannerman, Trevor Sharp, and Marco Capogna.Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is a neurotransmitter implicated in a vast array of sensory, motor, and cognitive functions. Its role in emotional regulation is well-known because selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), drugs that increase extracellular 5-HT levels, are a widely prescribed treatment for depression and anxiety.

Katinka Stecina Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Thank you for sharing this study here. I will be curious to read the full article with a question in my mind - did you see any increased firing of those cells that were ChR2 positive upon synaptic/or artificial excitation compared to when the ChR2 was not in the cells (but may that was not part of your study series?) Looking for reading the full paper and I will be probably back with some additional questions… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
