Abstract

This study investigated the action of 5-HT 1A receptor antagonists on cell proliferation in the dentate gyrus of adult rats. Three antagonists (NAN-190, p-MPPI and WAY-100635) all produced a statistically significant ∼30% reduction in the number of BrdU-immunoreactive cells in the dentate gyrus. This suggests that 5-HT 1A receptor activity is important during naturally occurring cell proliferation in the dentate gyrus, and perhaps neurogenesis, and is one of the many factors involved in its regulation.
