Abstract excerpt
The serotonergic (5-HT) system modulates many behaviors and has been implicated in psychiatric disorders, but the density of 5-HT processes has complicated analyses. We have used regulatory regions from the Tryptophan hydroxylase 1 (Tph1) gene to drive expression of LoxP-flanked placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) to generate the Tph1-Lox-PLAP reporter mouse line. In these mice, PLAP is expressed in the...
