Researchers invent new tool that monitors serotonin, helps study sleep and mental health – Hindustan Times
Researchers have come up with a way to transform a bacterial protein into a new tool which helps study the serotonin transmission and as a result will also help…
In an article in Cell, National Institutes of Health-funded researchers described how they used advanced genetic engineering techniques to transform a bacterial protein into a new research tool that may help monitor serotonin transmission with greater fidelity than current methods.
Preclinical experiments, primarily in mice, showed that the sensor could detect subtle, real-time changes in brain serotonin levels during sleep, fear, and social interactions, as well as test the effectiveness of new…
