摘要
Serotonin (5-HT), an important neurotransmitter, has been implicated in a wide range of disorders such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and learning and memory disorders. Recent work of CAS researchers has shown that mice lacking serotonin are less anxious compared to control animals but retain fearful memories for much longer time. A study conducted by CAS researchers may contribute towards developing treatments for PTSD, where long lasting fearful memories bring constant pain and sufferings to individuals who cannot forget them.
