Syntaxin-1A (stx1a) repression causes a neurodevelopmental disorder phenotype, low latent inhibition (LI) behavior, by disrupting 5-hydroxytryptaminergic (5-HTergic) systems. Herein, we discovered that lysine acetyltransferase (KAT) 3B increases stx1a neuronal transcription and TTK21, a KAT3 activator, induces stx1a transcription and 5-HT release in vitro. Furthermore, glucose-derived CSP-TTK21 could restore decreased stx1a expression, 5-HTergic systems in the brain, and low LI in stx1a (+/-) mice by crossing the blood-brain barrier, whereas the KAT3 inhibitor suppresses stx1a expression, 5-HTergic systems, and LI behaviors in wild-type mice. Finally, in wild-type and stx1a (-/-) mice treated with IKK inhibitors and CSP-TTK21, respectively, we show that KAT3 activator-induced LI improvement is a direct consequence of KAT3B-stx1a pathway, not a side effect. In conclusion, KAT3B can positively regulate stx1a transcription in neurons, and increasing neuronal stx1a expression and 5-HTergic systems by a KAT3 activator consequently improves the low LI behavior in the stx1a ablation mouse model.

Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is a powerful modulator of neuronal activity within the central nervous system and dysfunctions of the serotonergic system have been linked to several neuropsychiatric disorders such as major depressive disorders or schizophrenia. The anterior cingulate cortex (aCC) plays an important role in cognitive capture of stimuli and valence processing and it is densely innervated by serotonergic fibers from the nucleus raphe. In order to understand how pathophysiological 5-HT signalling can lead to neuropsychiatric diseases, it is important to understand the physiological actions of 5-HT on cortical circuits.

Purpose: Physical exercise improves physical and mental health; however, the differences between voluntary and forced exercise protocols are unclear. In addition, knowledge regarding the consequences of differences in testing timing, such as light and dark phases, in response to exercise type is limited. We investigated the effects of chronic forced and voluntary wheel running on the changes in brain monoamine levels (5-HT: serotonin, DA: dopamine, NA: noradrenaline), anxiety-like behaviours, and physiological stress responses in the light and dark phases.

Article Synopsis
- Affective disorders are linked to changes in circadian rhythms, particularly in the secretion patterns of serotonin (5-HT), which plays a crucial role in mood regulation.
- This study investigates how the circadian nuclear receptor REV-ERBα influences the production of serotonin by regulating the enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase 2 (Tph2) in specific brain neurons.
- The results show that manipulating REV-ERBα activity affects serotonin levels and associated mood behaviors in mice, highlighting a connection between circadian rhythms and mood regulation mechanisms in the brain.

Article Synopsis
- SSRIs, like fluoxetine, are frequently given to pregnant and breastfeeding women but can negatively affect their children's cognitive and emotional development.
- In a study involving mice, maternal fluoxetine exposure led to structural and functional changes in female offspring's brains, impacting memory and serotonin systems, while not affecting males the same way.
- Vortioxetine, a new antidepressant, did not show the same adverse effects on the medial prefrontal cortex, indicating it may be a safer option for pregnant women.
