Learned helplessness at fifty: Insights from neuroscience.
Maier SF, Seligman ME. Maier SF, et al. Psychol Rev. 2016 Jul;123(4):349-67. doi: 10.1037/rev0000033. Psychol Rev. 2016. PMID: 27337390 Free PMC article. Review.
It is the default, unlearned response to prolonged aversive events and it is mediated by the serotonergic activity of the dorsal raphe nucleus, which in turn inhibits escape. This passivity can be overcome by learning control, with the activity of the medial prefrontal cor …

Serotonin control of sleep-wake behavior.
Monti JM. Monti JM. Sleep Med Rev. 2011 Aug;15(4):269-81. doi: 10.1016/j.smrv.2010.11.003. Epub 2011 Apr 2. Sleep Med Rev. 2011. PMID: 21459634 Review.
Most of the serotonergic innervation of the cerebral cortex, amygdala, basal forebrain (BFB), thalamus, preoptic and hypothalamic areas, raphe nuclei, locus coeruleus and pontine reticular formation comes from the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN). ...Mutant mice th …

Hypoechogenicity of the raphe nuclei as a biomarker of migraine: A case-control study, review, and meta-analysis.
Dorado L, Rubio-Guerra S, Valls-Carbó A, Ispierto L, Hernández-Pérez M, Paré M, Vilas D. Dorado L, et al. J Neuroimaging. 2023 Mar;33(2):302-309. doi: 10.1111/jon.13070. Epub 2022 Nov 22. J Neuroimaging. 2023. PMID: 36415025
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Hypoechogenicity of the raphe nuclei (hR) has been related to major depression. Comorbidity between migraine and depression is bidirectional postulating a common mechanism of serotonergic dysfunction. ...CONCLUSION: hR is more prevalent in mi …

Mechanism of action of serotonin selective reuptake inhibitors. Serotonin receptors and pathways mediate therapeutic effects and side effects.
Stahl SM. Stahl SM. J Affect Disord. 1998 Dec;51(3):215-35. doi: 10.1016/s0165-0327(98)00221-3. J Affect Disord. 1998. PMID: 10333979 Review.
A leading hypothesis for this action is desensitization of somatodendritic serotonin 1A autoreceptors in the midbrain raphe. The hypothesis to explain why SSRIs have such diverse therapeutic actions is that somatodendritic 5HT1A autoreceptor desensitization increases serot …

Dorsal raphe organization.
Commons KG. Commons KG. J Chem Neuroanat. 2020 Dec;110:101868. doi: 10.1016/j.jchemneu.2020.101868. Epub 2020 Oct 5. J Chem Neuroanat. 2020. PMID: 33031916 Free PMC article. Review.
A recent cluster of reports have considerably deepened our understanding of the transcriptional diversity of serotonin neurons of the dorsal raphe nucleus (DR). In this commentary a subset of implications from these studies is highlighted such as: serotonin neurons in the …

Functional Diversity of Serotonin Neurons in the Dorsal and Median Raphe Nuclei in Emotional Responses.
Ohmura Y, Nagayasu K. Ohmura Y, et al. Neuropsychopharmacol Rep. 2025 Jun;45(2):e70015. doi: 10.1002/npr2.70015. Neuropsychopharmacol Rep. 2025. PMID: 40254954 Free PMC article. Review.
Of serotonergic nuclei in the central nervous system, mainly the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) and median raphe nucleus (MRN) project to the forebrain and midbrain; therefore, these nuclei are involved in emotional/cognitive functions and psychiatric diso …

Development and connectivity of the habenular nuclei.
Roberson S, Halpern ME. Roberson S, et al. Semin Cell Dev Biol. 2018 Jun;78:107-115. doi: 10.1016/j.semcdb.2017.10.007. Epub 2017 Nov 6. Semin Cell Dev Biol. 2018. PMID: 29107475 Free PMC article. Review.
Despite the important and diverse neuromodulatory roles the habenular nuclei play, their development has been understudied. The emphasis of this review is on the dorsal habenular nuclei of zebrafish, homologous to the medial nuclei of mammals, as recent work …

The diverse role of the raphe 5-HTergic systems in epilepsy.
Cheng HM, Gao CS, Lou QW, Chen Z, Wang Y. Cheng HM, et al. Acta Pharmacol Sin. 2022 Nov;43(11):2777-2788. doi: 10.1038/s41401-022-00918-2. Epub 2022 May 25. Acta Pharmacol Sin. 2022. PMID: 35614227 Free PMC article. Review.
The raphe nuclei comprise nearly all of 5-hydroxytryptaminergic (5-HTergic) neurons in the brain and are widely acknowledged to participate in the modulation of neural excitability. ...Seizure activities propagate to the raphe nuclei and induce various …
