Brain serotonin determines maternal behavior and offspring survival.

Genes, brain, and behavior - 1 Sept 2014

Abstract excerpt

Maternal care is an indispensable component of offspring survival and development in all mammals and necessary for reproductive success. Although brain areas regulating maternal behaviors are innervated by serotonergic afferents, very little is known about the role of this neurotransmitter in these behaviors. To evaluate the contribution of serotonin to maternal care, we used mice with a null mutation in the gene...
