Abstract

The use of SSRIs for depression in pregnancy remains a therapeutic challenge. Fetal exposure to maternal SSRIs have been implicated in the disruption of cognitive and physiologic domains during fetal development. The protein p11 (s100a10) interacts with the 5-HT1B (htr1b) serotonin (5-HT) receptor, regulating its localization to the cell surface. 5-HT signaling through this receptor modulates fetal brain axonal circuit formation. SSRI therapy has been shown to indirectly regulate p11 levels in the adult brain.
