Abstract excerpt
Several psychiatric disorders involving the prefrontal cortex (PFC) are associated with a dysfunction of 5-HT(1A) receptors (5-HT(1A)R). These receptors, located on interneurons and pyramidal neurons, may influence neuronal excitability through a regulation of the balance between excitation (E) and inhibition (I). Patch-clamp recordings in mouse cortical slices were performed to determine the modulatory role of...
