Abstract excerpt
Reports of gene-environment interactions (GxE) between the serotonin transporter gene and stress on risk of depression have generated both excitement and controversy. The controversy persists in part because a mechanistic account of this GxE on serotonergic neurotransmission and risk of depression has been lacking. In this Opinion, we draw on recent discoveries in the functional neuroanatomy of the serotonergic...
