Abstract excerpt
Transgenic mice lacking a functional 5-HT2c receptor gene are extremely susceptible to audiogenic seizures, suggesting that 5-HT2c receptors mediate inhibition of neuronal network excitability. The present association study tested the hypothesis that a Cys23Ser substitution polymorphism within the human 5-HT2c receptor gene modulates neuronal excitability. Genotypes of the Cys23Ser polymorphism were assessed in...
