Serotonin neuron abnormalities in the BTBR mouse model of autism
Open accessAbstract
The inbred mouse strain BTBR T+Itpr3tf/J (BTBR) is studied as a model of idiopathic autism because they are less social and more resistant to change than other strains. Forebrain serotonin receptors and the response to serotonin drugs are altered in BTBR mice, yet it remains unknown if serotonin neurons themselves are abnormal. In this study, we found that serotonin tissue content and the density of serotonin axons is reduced in the hippocampus of BTBR mice in comparison to C57BL/6J (C57) mice. This was accompanied by possible compensatory changes in serotonin neurons that were most pronounced in regions known to provide innervation to the hippocampus: the caudal dorsal raphe (B6) and the median raphe. These changes included increased numbers of serotonin neurons and hyperactivation of Fos expression. Metrics of serotonin neurons in the rostral 2/3 of the dorsal raphe and serotonin content of the prefrontal cortex were less impacted. Thus, serotonin neurons exhibit region‐dependent abnormalities in the BTBR mouse that may contribute to their altered behavioral profile.Autism Res2017, 10: 66–77. © 2016 International Society for Autism Research, Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

BTBR mice have more serotonin-expressing neurons in the caudal portions of the median and dorsal raphe but decreased axon terminals in the hippocampal CA1, decreased adult neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus, upregulation of postnatal turnover of excitatory synapses in the anterior frontal cortex, and unaltered synaptic density and PSD thickness in the somatosensory cortex.
“The presence of more serotonin-expressing neurons in the caudal portions of the median and dorsal raphe but decreased axon terminals in the hippocampal CA1 [134], decreased adult neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus [338], upregulation of postnatal turnover of excitatory synapses in the anterior frontal cortex [172], and unaltered synaptic density and PSD thickness in the somatosensory cortex [381]”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
