Major depression is one of the most common mood
disorders(over 20% of U.S. for over 18 yo during life, NIH).
Symptoms: A loss of interest, Change of mood representations,
Impairment of social, occupational, or educational function,
Sleep problem(Insomnia or hypersomnia), indecisive, Suicidality,
Worthlessness(DSM-IV, 1994)
Why Serotonin?:
Low levels of serotonin in the patients(Serotonin-deficiency
theory)[Lacasse, Plos Med., 2005]
Strong evidence:
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors(SSRI) -> induction of
extracellular serotonin increase
• Major antidepressant drugs(about -70%)
However, detailed etiology is still unknown.
What is depression? And What’s the cause
Aim of This Independent StudySome discrepancies:
1) A slow effect of SSRI on mood even after acute
treatment[Harmer, BJPsychiatry, 2009]
2) SSRI is not completely effective(Dopamine theory, BDNF
theory)[Dunlop, Arch Gen psychiatry, 2006;Trivedi, The New England Journal
of Medicine, 2006]
On the other hand….(several indication)
1)15 subgroups of Serotonin (5-HT) receptor family and
different effect on neurons
2) Region-dependent distribution of the receptors
3) Strong Serotonergic innervations related with several brain
regions in the depression patients(the hippocampus, the basal
ganglia, and the amygdala).

Serotonergic projections
Presumption of depression
Presumption:
• Neuronal network might cause
differential effect on multiple brain
regions due to different receptor
types of serotonin.
Purpose of this seminar
• Summary of detailed survey of
serotonin innervations

Serotonin (5-HT)
• One of monoamine
neurotransmitters
• 5-HT, tryptophan, and
melatonin are related
metabolites.
• Breathing rhythms, heart
rate, locomotion, circadian
rhythms, emotions, and
neurogenesis.

General Characteristics of Raphe Nuclei
Classification:
The raphe nuclei: serotonin (5-HT) containing neuron clusters(Midline of the brainstem)
• Subdivisions in rats:
B1: Raphe Pallidus, B2: Raphe Obscurus, B3: Raphe magnus, B4: Raphe
Obscurus(dorsolateral part), B5: Raphe Pontis, B6: Dorsal Raphe Nucleus(caudal
part), B7: Dorsal Raphe Nucleus(Principal part), B8:Median Raphe Necules(Main
party), B9:Dorsal Pontine Tegmentum
• 85% of 5-HT neurons in Rostral(B7, B8) part of human brains[Hornung, J. Chemi.

General Characteristics of Raphe Nuclei

[Vertes and Linley, International Congress Series,
2007]
Dorsal Raphe(DR) projections in rat:
the ventral tegmental area(VTA), the substantia
nigra pars compacta(SNc), some regions of
hypothalamus, amygdala complexes, dorsal and
ventral striatum, lateral septum(LS), the
entorhinal(EC), medial orbital (MO) and the medial
prefrontal cortex (mPFC), the hippocampus.
(anterograde tracer with PHA-L[Vertes and Linley,
2007])
Median Raphe(MR) projections in rat:
the interpeduncular nucleus, VTA, medial
mammillary nucleus, parts of the midline and
intralaminar thalamus, the lateral habenula,
septum, ventral striatum(Nucleus accumbens),
the hippocampus, medial septum (MS)[Vertes
J.Comp. Neurol, 1999; Vertes and Linley, 2007].
DR: cell size(30-
40um), fusiform,
darkly stained
MR: cell size(10-
12um), oval,
lightly
stained[Verte.,
2007]
Blue: dopaminergic nuclei

The mean of extracellular 5-HT: DRN(15.6 ± 2.4
fmol/20ul = 0.78 ± 0.12 nmol/l; n = 16), MRN(10.6 ± 1.3
fmol/20ul = 0.53 ± 0.065 nmol/l; n=16)[Mokler, Brain Res., 2009]
Putative Firing rate of 5-HT neurons: DRN(1.34 ± 0.09
Hz), MRN(0.54 ± 0.05 Hz)[Judge., etal, Neurochemi., 2006]
DRN affects MRN, but MDR does not affect much.
Function of DRN -Patience and Impulsivity-
Patience and Impulsivity
1. Activation 5-HT Neurons in DRN
during waiting delayed rewards
2. Negative correlation between 5-HT
activity and Wait Error.
Omission trials counted by removal of nose-

Measurement of helplessness and anxiety
17
The Forced Swim Test:
Check immovability of mice
Normal: Try to avoid water
Abnormal: Be quiet.
Interpretation: immovability shows despair.
The Novelty Suppressed Feeding (NSF)
test
Check amount of foods in a novel
environment after removal of feeding.
Interpretation: hesitation for rewards shows
level of anxiety of a new environment.
