Cartography of Serotonergic Circuits
نویسندگان
چکیده
Serotonin is an essential neuromodulator, but the precise circuit connectivity that regulates serotonergic neurons has not been well defined. Using rabies virus tracing strategies Weissbourd et al. (2014) and Pollak Dorocic et al. (2014) in this issue of Neuron and Ogawa et al. (2014) in Cell Reports provide a comprehensive map of the inputs to serotonergic neurons, highlighting the complexity and diversity of potential upstream cellular regulators.

CeA-RVMM serotonergic circuits and sudden unexpected death in epilepsy
Consensus exists on the importance of neural circuit in affecting the clinical outcome after sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). There is growing evidence that the serotonergic neuronal networks have a well-established role in SUDEP. Much progress has been made in our understanding of SUDEP since the seminal experiments of neural circuits. Future studies are that CeM-RVMM serotonergic ...
متن کاملBeyond Gene Inactivation: Evolution of Tools for Analysis of Serotonergic Circuitry.
In the brain, serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) controls a multitude of physiological and behavioral functions. Serotonergic neurons in the raphe nuclei give rise to a complex and extensive network of axonal projections throughout the whole brain. A major challenge in the analysis of these circuits is to understand how the serotonergic networks are linked to the numerous functions of this n...
متن کاملEmergence of Serotonergic Neurons After Spinal Cord Injury in Turtles
Plasticity of neural circuits takes many forms and plays a fundamental role in regulating behavior to changing demands while maintaining stability. For example, during spinal cord development neurotransmitter identity in neurons is dynamically adjusted in response to changes in the activity of spinal networks. It is reasonable to speculate that this type of plasticity might occur also in mature...
متن کاملThat warm fuzzy feeling: brain serotonergic neurons and the regulation of emotion.
Whether lying on the beach in the midday sun on a Caribbean island, grabbing a few minutes in the sauna or spa after work, or sitting in a hot bath or Jacuzzi in the evening, we often associate feeling warm with a sense of relaxation and well-being. Even 'working up a good sweat', exercising or performing manual labour in the garden can have its rewards. Although we take these feelings for gran...
متن کاملSerotonin homeostasis and serotonin receptors as actors of cortical construction: special attention to the 5-HT3A and 5-HT6 receptor subtypes
Cortical circuits control higher-order cognitive processes and their function is highly dependent on their structure that emerges during development. The construction of cortical circuits involves the coordinated interplay between different types of cellular processes such as proliferation, migration, and differentiation of neural and glial cell subtypes. Among the multiple factors that regulat...
