Photoperiod Programs Dorsal Raphe Serotonergic Neurons and Affective Behaviors
The serotonergic raphe nuclei of the midbrain are principal centers from which serotonin neurons project to innervate cortical and sub-cortical structures. The dorsal raphe nuclei receive light input from the circadian visual system and indirect input from the biological clock nuclei. Dysregulation of serotonin neurotransmission is implicated in neurobehavioral disorders, such as depression and...
متن کاملPresynaptic Partners of Dorsal Raphe Serotonergic and GABAergic Neurons
The serotonin system powerfully modulates physiology and behavior in health and disease, yet the circuit mechanisms underlying serotonin neuron activity are poorly understood. The major source of forebrain serotonergic innervation is from the dorsal raphe nucleus (DR), which contains both serotonin and GABA neurons. Using viral tracing combined with electrophysiology, we found that GABA and ser...
متن کاملPage 1 SEROTONERGIC AND NON-SEROTONERGIC DORSAL RAPHE NEURONS ARE PHARMACOLOGICALLY AND ELECTROPHYSIOLOGICALLY HETEROGENEOUS
The dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) projects serotonergic axons throughout the brain and is involved in a variety of physiological functions. However, it also includes a large population of cells that contain other neurotransmitters. To clarify the physiological and pharmacological differences between the serotonergic and non-serotonergic neurons of the DRN, their postsynaptic responses to 5hydroxyt...

However, it also includes a large population of cells that contain other neurotransmitters.

متن کاملAllopregnanolone and ganaxolone increase the firing activity of dorsal raphe nucleus serotonergic neurons in female rats.
Accumulating evidence suggest a reciprocal interaction between neurosteroids, especially 5alpha-pregnan-3alpha-ol,20-one (3alpha,5alpha-THP, allopregnanolone), and the serotonergic (5-HT) system. Both 5-HT and neurosteroids seem to play an important role in the pathophysiology of major depression. We have previously shown that a 7-d treatment with 3alpha,5alpha-THP drastically increases the spo...
