This study shows that postnatal chemogenetic activation of forebrain excitatory neurons leads to anxiety-like behaviors and altered glial function and metabolism in adult mice.

This study shows that chemogenetic activation of PV-positive interneurons during postnatal life reduces anxiety and despair-like behaviors in adulthood, with sex-dependent effects.

This study inhibits forebrain excitatory neurons during postnatal or juvenile stages using DREADD and finds no effect on adult mood-related behaviors or sensorimotor gating.

This study shows that postnatal fluoxetine treatment reduces perineuronal nets in specific hippocampal regions, affecting neural development and plasticity.

This study shows that chronic chemogenetic activation of forebrain excitatory neurons during postnatal life leads to long-lasting mood-related behavioral and neurophysiological changes.

This study identifies serotonin as a regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis and function in rodent cortical neurons through the 5-HT2A receptor and SIRT1-PGC-1α axis, with neuroprotective effects.
