Abstract excerpt
The serotonergic system plays a key role in regulating basic behaviors. Deficits in serotonergic neurotransmission have been implicated in psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia and depression. Here we have optimized a behavioral screen and performed a small scale genetic screen to identify genes involved in serotonin responsiveness in the mouse. Treatment of mice with serotonin, serotonin precursors, or...
