Abstract excerpt
A major subpopulation of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) neurons expresses the vesicular glutamate transporter 3 (VGLUT3) allowing the co-release of glutamate. Previous evidence has implicated VGLUT3 in 5-HT neurons in mechanisms of anxiety and reward. Here we examined mice with a genetic loss of VGLUT3 targeted to 5-HT neurons (VGLUT3 cKO5-HT) and littermate controls in a battery of behavioural tests, including...
