Sleep deprivation rapidly upregulates serotonin 2A receptor expression via the immediate early gene <i>Egr3</i>

Abstract excerpt
Serotonin 2A receptors (5-HT 2A Rs) mediate the effects of hallucinogenic drugs and antipsychotic medications, and are reduced in schizophrenia patients’ brains. However, the mechanisms that regulate 5-HT 2A R expression remain poorly understood. We show that an environmental stimulus, sleep deprivation, upregulates 5-HT 2A Rs in the mouse frontal cortex (FC) in just 6-8 hours. This induction requires the immed...
