Maternal Serotonin Levels Affect Embryonic Deveopment

January 1st 2007 07:22
Côté, et al., in a paper titled, "Maternal serotonin is crucial for murine embryonic development", demonstrate that lack of serotonin in early development contributes to abnormalities in brain and other tissues and a significant decrease in birth weight. Serotonin comes from the mother at that stage in life. Mice were used in the study. More research will be needed to determine the exact correlation with humans.
