Serotonin 5-HT 1B receptor-mediated behavior and binding in mice with the overactive and dysregulated serotonin transporter Ala56 variant

ConclusionsWhile reducing 5-HT1B receptors may attenuate sensorimotor gating deficits, increased 5-HT1B levels in SERT Ala56 mice do not necessarily exacerbate these deficits, potentially due to compensations during neural circuit development in this model system.
