This study investigates the role of BDNF expression in serotonergic neurons on stress resilience and hippocampal neurogenesis. Using a mouse model with Rosa26-inserted mouse Bdnf under serotonergic control, researchers showed enhanced neurogenesis and behavioral resilience following stress.
Serotonergic BDNF expression improves adult hippocampal neurogenesis and stress coping, highlighting BDNF as a neuromodulatory target in mood and neuroplasticity.
Rosa26 Knockin mouse model overexpressing mouse Bdnf under SERT-Cre control, developed to study serotonergic neuron-specific neurotrophic signaling.
