Abstract excerpt
The Serotonin Transporter (SERT) regulates extracellular serotonin levels and is the target of most current drugs used to treat depression. The mechanisms by which inhibition of SERT activity influences behavior are poorly understood. To address this question in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster , we developed new loss of function mutations in Drosophila SERT ( dSERT). Previous studies in both flies an...
