Article Synopsis
  • The serotonin type 3 (5-HT(3)) receptor, which is unique as a ligand-gated ion channel among serotonin receptors, was studied for its role in developing dendrites and axons in embryonic rat neurons.
  • Researchers cultured neurons from embryonic day 16 and found that while most neurons expressed a protein called MAP2, only a few showed expression of GAD65, leading to the classification of neurons into three types.
  • The study found that activation of the 5-HT(3) receptor decreased the growth of dendrites and axons in GAD-negative neurons, but had little impact on GAD-positive neurons, indicating that the 5-HT(3) receptor has different effects on various types of cortical
