Article Synopsis
- The serotonin (5-HT) system is crucial for brain development and connectivity, and researchers created mutant mice to study its function.
- These mutant mice were designed to specifically remove 5-HT neurons by altering a gene (Munc18-1) but most died shortly after birth.
- Analysis showed that while 5-HT neurons initially formed, they rapidly degenerated, indicating that the 5-HT system is vital for survival after birth.
