Photoperiodic Regulation of SK Channels in Dorsal Raphe Serotonin Neurons

Manuel A. Giannoni-Guzmán, José C. Zepeda, Anna K. Kamitakahara, Valerie M. Magalong, Pat R. Levitt, Brad A. Grueter, Douglas G. McMahon

This study shows that photoperiod modulates SK channel function in dorsal raphe serotonin neurons through post-transcriptional mechanisms, linking seasonal cues to mood-related behaviors.
